I'm in the process of implementing a parallel type task (similiar to the existing Ant task).No - not yet. I think we had basically decided that there was no pressing need for scoped properties. Perhaps you've just found one.
I've pretty much got it working and was playing with it in our current build file. The first thing I found was that properties that are declared within a target are global in scope. Needless to say, this caused a lot of problems when targets began to run at the same time.
I did a bit of snooping in the archives and found that at one point (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03300.html) there was talk of having the ability to scope properties to a given target vs being global. Has this been implemented in any way?
I was under the impression that Ant properties also have global scope but maybe this has changed recently. From "Ant - the definitive guide":
"the other prominent property characteristic is that properties are always global in scope. "
If this is still true then I wonder how the parallel task in Ant works around it.
