Hi Jens,
Once created a property holds its state for the whole lifecycle. Depending where
you define it the lifecycle differs :
global defined properties life as long as the project lifes.
properties within a target life for the rest of this project.
Using <antcall> a property inside antcall does only life for the child-project.
And therefore the callee wont have the property after the antcall is finished.
I would suggest you define one global property such as 'rootPath' and use
rootPath as Postfix for the real outpath.
