http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28884 Keep the properties set after <ant> or <antcall>. Summary: Keep the properties set after <ant> or <antcall>. Product: Ant Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] At the moment if you have a target that define some properties, the only way to call it in order to get the values is by using "depends". If you use <ant> or <antcall> all properties set in the target are local. That's why it would be nice to have a "keepProperties" (or whatever) attribute to the <ant> and <antcall> task. Example: <antcall target="define-versions" keepProperties="true"/> This feature has been discussed on Ant developer mailing list at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108369006500001&r=1&w=2 Note that Dale Anson mailed at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=108377046631849&w=2 that already several tasks exist in AntContrib and Antelop to perform this feature. This means that there is a real need for this functionality. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
