Have you considered doing something with <dirname> ???
That should give you the desired value...

Has anyone else ever wished there was a way to specify "location semantics" for
<condition/> values?
Given that doesn't exist, can anyone suggest the ideal way to implement:
$ cd /tmp/X/Y/script/
$ cat build.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="ant_dev_sample">
<property name="tmp.path" location="${basedir}/../.." />
<condition property="some.dir" value="${tmp.path}">
<isset property="some.property" />
</condition>
<echo>some.dir: ${some.dir}</echo>
</project>
$ ant -Dsome.property=true
Buildfile: build.xml
[echo] some.dir: /tmp/X
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

This is exactly what I want, a full and resolved path.
However, without the property, I get a relative path, not ideal.
$ cat build.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="ant_dev_sample2">
<condition property="some.dir" value="${basedir}/../..">
<isset property="some.property" />
</condition>
<echo>some.dir: ${some.dir}</echo>
</project>
$ ant -Dsome.property=true
Buildfile: build.xml
[echo] some.dir: /tmp/X/Y/script/../..
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yuck!
Thanks in advance for your more elegant solution!
