"basedir" isn't a system property -- it's an Ant property. Same with any
properties you set. You need to use Ant's getProperty().

You need to use Ant's setProperty().
For example:
<target name="testscript">
<property name="somefoo" value="somefoo"/>
<taskdef name="script"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.Script"/>
<script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
getprop = projname.getProperty("somefoo")
setprop = projname.setProperty("somebar", "somebar")
showit = projname.createTask("echo");
showit.setMessage(getprop) ;
showit.execute() ;
showit = projname.createTask("echo");
showit.setMessage(projname.getProperty("somebar")) ;
showit.execute() ;
showit = projname.createTask("echo");
showit.setMessage(projname.getProperty("basedir")) ;
showit.execute() ;
]]>
</script>
</target>
<target name="reshow">
<echo message="somebar is ${somebar}"/>
</target>
$ ant testscript reshow
testscript:
[echo] somefoo
[echo] somebar
[echo] D:\cygwin\home\dianeh\work\ant
reshow:
[echo] somebar is somebar
Hope this helps,
