OK :-) There is no real difference, you're right. I was just trying to think up some better way to deal with environment properties, that's all. The property and propertyfile tags will do the same job.
Thanks a lot, Chris. P.S. I choose the name of the property file based on whether it is global (build environment), or project-based (in that case I use the project name). The property is stored in the directory that the VM parameter 'java.io.tmpdir' contains (the temporary directory used by Java IO's temp file support). -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bodewig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 5:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Persistent global properties - are they going to be available?

Sounds like <propertyfile> to write and <property file="..."/> to read. Apart from the different names for your tasks and the central property file (I couldn't see how you chose the name/location of this file), what is the difference?
