$ at end of property value

27 Jun 2000 05:05:34 -0000 

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with Ant when there is a dollar sign ($)
at the end of a property value,

eg:

<property name="version" value="$Revision: $" />

reports

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 12

        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Compiled Code)


Ant seems to want to check that the next character is a '{'.

Please CC me on replies.

Cheers,

Colin
