Can anyone help?
I am trying to set the basedir project attribute with a property that is
passed in on the command line. The property is recognised from within tasks
of this project, but does not get recognised within the <project> tag.
Script (Make.bat) :
SET MY_HOME=C:\MyHome
java -Dant.home="%ANT_HOME%" org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile
%MY_HOME%\bin\build.xml -Dmy.home=%MY_HOME% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
build.xml file :
<project name="My Project" default="buildall" basedir="${my.home}">
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="classpath" value="${env.CLASSPATH}"/>
<target name="init">
<echo message="basedir is ${basedir}"/>
<echo message="my.home is ${my.home}"/>
</target>
</project>
Output from running make file (make init) :
Buildfile: c:\MyHome\bin\build.xml
init:
[echo] basedir is C:\MyHome\bin\${my.home}
[echo] my.home is c:\MyHome
Is this exepected behaviour or a bug? Is there a work around. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
