+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ add ability to define the value of a property by dereferencing another
+ property. For example, with the following property definitions:
+
+ bligga.blah=foo
+ bligga.bleen=foo2
+ bloogga.blah=bar
+ bloogga.bleen=bar2
+ the_selector=bloogga
+
+ i'd like to be able to define a property in the project something like this:
+
+ <property name="blah" deref="${the_selector}.blah"/>
+
+ the value of property "blah" here would be "bar"
+
+ alternatively/additionally, there should be a way to dereference properties
+ directly in attributes (this is essentially a recursive resolution of
+ properties). for example, maybe a syntax like this:
+
+
+ <sometag someattribute="${${the_selector}}.blah"/>
