Thank you.
I have used the following solution:
<target name="init">
<mkdir dir="${build}"/>
<mkdir dir="${build}/${config}"/>
<echo file="${build}/${config}/.properties"
append="false">ant.project.name=${ant.project.name}
ant.project.description=${description}</echo>
</target>
and
protected final static String propsFile="config/.properties";
protected final static String projName="ant.project.name";
protected final static String projDescription="ant.project.description";
protected Properties props;
public Properties getProps() { return props; }
/* properties */
InputStream
in=this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(propsFile);
if (in!=null) {
try {
props=new Properties();
props.load(in);
} catch (IOException e) {
setError(e);
}
}
Thank you
Misha
