Hi...it appears that path variables, e.g.:
<path id="somepath" path="/tmp/foobar"/>
are not inherited by sub-ant tasks in the same
way that properties are (in other words, I can't
refer to this path using refid="somepath" in
another antfile).
Is this a design decision or an oversight? I
find myself having to convert paths to properties
in order to get them to be inherited:
<pathconvert targetos="windows" property="r7.base.dir">
<path id="r7.base.dir" path="${basedir}"/>
</pathconvert>
<pathconvert targetos="windows" property="r7.3rdparty.dir">
<path id="r7.3rdparty.dir" path="${r7.base.dir}/3rdparty"/>
</pathconvert>
<!--
ant
-->
<pathconvert targetos="windows" property="r7.3rdparty.ant.dir">
<path id="r7.3rdparty.ant.dir"
path="${r7.3rdparty.dir}/ant/jakarta-ant"/>
</pathconvert>
<pathconvert targetos="windows" property="r7.3rdparty.ant.classpath">
<path id="r7.3rdparty.ant.classpath"
path="${r7.3rdparty.ant.dir}/build/classes"/>
</pathconvert>
which, needless to say, is annoying.
Thanks,
c
