OK< I see that it is a bug -- and I didn't realized someone had updated the shared ant installation to 1.5.9 (I thought it was still 1.4.1).
But is the bug that it doesn't check for null, or that the value isn't getting set? I'm not expecting my value to be null, so if it is simply failing to check before parsing it, then the bug isn't my problem -- that my value is not getting to the task is. But if the bug is that the value, despite being set property in ant, is being imcorrectly set to null in the task, then I amplaguedby the bug. So, which is it?
