I wish to use a command line property occasionally,
to override that set in a 'wrapper' script, that
in turn calls the main script.
However, the property set in the wrapper script appears to
override that set on the command line once the main
script is called.
As an example, I have two scripts, dummywrapper.xml,
and dummy.xml
========== dummywrapper.xml ===============
<project name="fakebuild" default="wrapper" basedir=".">
<target name="wrapper">
<ant antfile="dummy.xml" target="build-deploy">
<property name="whoami" value="apps"/>
</ant>
</target>
</project>
================ dummy.xml ================
<project name="fakebuild" default="build-deploy" basedir=".">
<target name="build-deploy">
<property name="whoami" value="apps"/>
<echo message="${whoami}"/>
</target>
</project>
If I call dummy.xml, the command line property works fine,
and the output is wd, as expected.
----
C:\ant\1.4b2\bin>ant -buildfile dummy.xml -Dwhoami=wd
Buildfile: dummy.xml
build-deploy:
[echo] wd
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
----
If, however, I call the wrapper script, the output is
apps.
-----
C:\ant\1.4b2\bin>ant -buildfile dummywrapper.xml -Dwhoami=wd
Buildfile: dummywrapper.xml
wrapper:
build-deploy:
[echo] apps
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Will Dyke
