Adding <property file="test.properties"/>, the expansion occurs.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="inline props test" default="test">
<property file="test.properties"/>
<target name="test">
<echo>deploy.url is ${deploy.url}</echo>
</target>
</project>
It seems not to occur when the property file is given in the command line.
