--- Comment #6 from Stefan Bodewig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-09-05 01:04:05 PST --- I'm not suggesting you should invoke project.getBasedir earlier (prior to project.init), quite the opposite. Something is calling getBasedir on your project instance before it is safe to do so, i.e. before the XML file has been parsed which doesn't happen before ProjectHelper.configureProject in runBuild. Yes, user.dir may be read in some places but neither is directly related to setting the basedir. On a related note, changing the current working directory within a Java process is almost impossible to do 8and impossible to do in a portable way). If you change user.dir it probably doesn't have the desired effect on tasks like <exec>. Just take a look at the many silly things the Execute class does to be able to invoke an executable inside a different working directory than the one of the current process - simple as long as you can stick with a specific JVM on a specific OS. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
