When using f.e. <property name="prod.appserver" value="foobar"/> <property name="prod.pwd" value="topsecret"/> <property name="prod.db.user" value="homer"/> <property name="prod.db.pwd" value="duff_rulez"/> <property name="test.appserver" value="foobaz"/> <property name="test.pwd" value="secret"/> ...
you can bundle properties that belong together, many tasks that deal with properties have a prefix attribute, f.e. <echoproperties prefix="prod"/> or <propertyset id="prodproperties"> <propertyref prefix="prod"/> </propertyset> or all db related stuff for production <propertyset id="db_prod"> <propertyref prefix="prod.db"/> </propertyset> Regards, Gilbert -----Original Message----- From: Burgess, Benjamin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 4:31 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: doubt in property The property names are not significant. Think of location as properties stored as java.io.File objects and value as properties stored as java.lang.String objects; locations of files/directories vs a string of text.
