i had a deeper look at the code and i found out that the following code
is used:
- for <property/>
--> overwriteProperties (Ant.java) --> copyInheritedProperties
(Project.java) --> copyInheritedProperties (PropertyHelper.java) -->
setInheritedProperty (PropertyHelper.java) --> userProperties.put(...)
(PropertyHelper.java)
- for <propertyset/>
--> addPropertySet (Ant.java) --> initializeProject (Ant.java) -->
addAlmostAll (Ant.java) --> setNewProperty (Project.java) -->
setNewProperty (PropertyHelper.java) --> which does NOT set
userProperties.put(...)
so why is it handled differently ? was this intented this way ?
thx
