Jan,
Yep, its set in the calling ant file,
[echo] ${tools.home}=C:\LATEST_CODE\tenant/../tools
and not properly set in the ant script that is called.
[echo] ${tools.home}=${tools.home}
However, I found a solution, doing the following fixed
my problems.
<subant buildpath="common/build.xml" target="dist" inheritAll="false" >
<property name="tools.home" value="${basedir}/../tools" />
<property name="stack.home" value="${basedir}/../stack" />
</subant>
for some reason if I pass in a value that is the same as the
property name I am trying to use it doesn't evaluate the var
properly. A bug perhaps? I am using ANT 1.6.2
Thanks for the help
Casey

Subject: AW: passing Ant property values to new build
Is the property set? Do a
<echo>$${tools.home}=${tools.home}</echo>
directly before the <subant>.
