My quest for the perfect build environment continues....
I've been asked to avoid using environment variable in our build procedures so I've been trying to find a way to have Ant take care of telling me the position/location of certain files and directories. I figured a good way was to have a single common build script that knew it's location relative to the top of the project directory and then defined properties that could be used by the subprojects, but I've found two problems: 1. Can you translate the path from a relative to absolute name and then to it's platform format. (We develop on Windows and MacOS) 2. Can you have a called Ant script define properties which can be picked up by the calling Ant script. Or, the obvious question, is there a better way to do this?
