Re: and

This does look like a mis-match between the functionalty of
the <property> and <propertyset> elements of <ant>.

but now it seems that properties passed by <propertyset/> are NOT
inherited
(?) In my project these properties are passed exactly one "level" into
the
newly created project.

whats wrong ?

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

btw: i had a short look at the code. in Ant.java i read:

   private void overrideProperties() throws BuildException {
       // remove duplicate properties - last property wins
       // Needed for backward compatibility
       Set set = new HashSet();
       for (int i = properties.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {

this behaviour (read the comment) is exactly the opposite of what is
expected i guess because the general ant behaviour is : first property
wins ... (just a thought).
