You can't nest properties like this, but is that what you want to do? Seems to me you want something like: property name=result value=${site_name}.deployment.dir/ And then you could have a properties file that defines all the deployment directories for each site you're using:

Where can I get a Pvcs task class?

If you specify p4user p4port or p4client then p4base uses the -u -p and -c switches to pass this info on. You do not need to comment out these lines as, if you do not set these attributes in your xml file, p4base ignores them and uses those specified by p4 set. What version of client are you

To clarify, we have in each file the following javadoc comment @version @version@. We also have other files, like configuration files that need a path in them. We like to define the path in a single place (like as a property in the build.xml file) so that when this path changes we only update it

RE: The build directory

2001-06-29 Thread Mark Womack
Kyle, I think most projects copy the files to a build directory to replace the tokens within the files. Also, for official builds, it gives you a place from which to archive the source that was used to create the build. I wrote our targets to compile from the source without doing a copy first.

Thanks for the replies. It appears that the main reason for copying is to filter and replace tokens. If that's true, doesn't it make more sense to simply use the Replace task? Then, since the filtering's been taken care of, just compile with the srcdir attribute set to your source
