Learn to use it. Example: build.compiler=jikes deploy.server=lucky deploy.port=8080 deploy.url=http://${deploy.server}:${deploy.port}/ ================================ So I created a properties file with the above and the following build.xml file: ================================== <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="inline props test" default="test"> <target name="test"> <echo>deploy.url is ${deploy.url}</echo> </target> </project> ================================== The I ran it as follows: $ ant -propertyfile test.properties Here is the output: ================================== Buildfile: build.xml test: [echo] deploy.url is http://${deploy.server}:${deploy.port}/ BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds ================================== I'm using ant 7.0. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, - mps ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
