The property element is embedded within the ant element. You are thus
specifying the value of the property whoami for the *spawned* ant. The
whoami property in the current execution is unaffected. Check it out by
putting an echo after the ant task.
Does anyone know if this would work:
<project name="fakebuild" default="wrapper" basedir=".">
<target name="wrapper">
<property name="whoami" value="apps"/>
<ant antfile="dummy.xml" target="build-deploy">
<property name="whoami" value="${whoami}"/>
</ant>
</target>
</project>
