Jason Dillon commented on MANTRUN-40:
-------------------------------------
Sorry Kenny, but properties *do not* actually make it into the ant's execution
environment. Properties are only resolved in the pom (tasks embedded in the
pom as you noted). BUT, if one of those tasks needs to access a property that
*was not* explicitly passed to it, like what is done with {{<ant><property
name="" .../>}} which would then use the pom's property resolution mechanism,
then that task will *not see* the value of the property. So the title of the
issue is correct.

> Properties defined in pom <properties> do not propagate to the antrun

> For example:
> {code}
> <properties>
> <my.property>foo</my.property>
> </properties>
> {code}
> Does *not* get propagate to Ant. While properties defined within the pom
> will resolve, the properties are not available as an Ant property. So from
> antrun:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}"
> inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo"/>
> {code}
> And then the Ant build.xml:
> {code}
> <project>
> <target name="foo">
> <echo>${my.property}</echo>
> </target>
> <project>
> {code}
> The output will be:
> {noformat}
> [echo] ${my.property}
> {noformat}
> Instead of what it *should be*:
> {noformat}
> [echo] foo
> {noformat}
> The workaround is to delegate to a build.xml file with the ant task and
> redefine each property that is needed:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}"
> inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo">
> <property name="my.property" value="${my.property}"/>
> </ant>
> {code}
