Hi,

Simple answer: No.

Not with Ant Core but with antcontrib <antfetch> task

More complex answer: You could create a file using echo tasks that
would write a *.properties file that would then be read in by the
calling build script. Very intelligent, but I think this would be the
only way of doing it.

Hi,

I use ANT to build a number of subprojects all controlled from one master parent ANT build file. I use 
the <ant antfile="subproject1/build.xml" target="test"/> task to call various 
targets in subprojects.

In the subproject-targets I set properties, but they are not available in the parent 
project. The manual for the "ant" task says that a new project is created for 
each ant call, so I assume that's why the properties are not set in the parent project.

Here my question:

Is there a way how I can access properties set in a subproject in the parent 
project?

Here is one use case:

In subprojects I use the junit failureproperty option to indicate a test 
failure, I don't fail the build on a test failure, because I want to run tests 
for all subprojects and generate reports, etc. In my parent project I want to 
check for these properties and generate an HTML summary page with links to the 
detailed results.

Any advice is appreciated.

nearly the same question has been asked lately, see =
