Sorry for bouncing. I'm just wondering if there is somewhere (other than
this list) where this is better dicusssed?

Hi,
I just want to ask a bit something that probably has been discussed to
death before: unset properties handling. The latest 1.7 does not
address this (according to the release notes), and I could find no
enhancement request discussing it either.
So, my simple proposal is:
Allow the user to set a custom handler for resolving properties (with
the option to handle unset properties as errors), similar to setting
build listeners.
We've been running with a modified Ant 1.6.2 for some time that simply
throws an exception if a non-set property is accessed (when another
propery is set, namely ant.disallow_unset_properties). It works really
nice for us and has helped finding quite a few bugs (that's why we
added it in the first place), but a more general solution would be to
provide various property-policies. That way, I could resolve my other
issue (see my recent post) that way as well, making it a bit more
transparent.
Comments?
Cheers,
/Marcus
P.S. I could probably check out 1.7 and make a patch myself, if you
guys think it's worthwhile to include in the future.
