Thanks, Peter .. this is the second time the Macrodef task has really saved my
bacon when I planned on
Ant doing something it doesn't actually do :-) Here's what I ended up with:
<!--
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-->
<!-- Composition of some properties based on .properties files sourced
by build.xml -->
<!-- Allows you define a new property with a value of ${a.${b}} which
can't be done by the Property task alone. -->
<!--
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-->
<macrodef name="macro.compose-property">
<attribute name="name"/>
<attribute name="stem"/>
<attribute name="selector"/>
<sequential>
<property name="@{name}" value="[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@{selector}}"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
