Thanks. I now realize that the output.dir property is specific to the use of ant in the DITA Open Toolkit (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/) and not a general ant thing. (That's what comes from trying to learn both at once!)

I've searched through the whole Ant manual, and found two references to "output.dir". Both are used as examples for the name of some output directory. You can always do this: $ ant > ant.out.txt Or if you're on Unix: $ ant | tee ant.out.txt On Dec 18, 2007 2:33 PM, DuCharme, Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My build.xml includes the following lines: > > <property name="output.dir" value="out"/> > <property name="args.input" value="samples/${inputfile}"/> > > I wanted the output to go into the out directory, which I swear it was > doing yesterday, but today it's putting the output into out/samples. > Can anyone tell me how to specify that I want it to go into the out > directory and not a subdirectory of that? > > thanks, > > Bob > > > Disclaimer: > ----------- > > "This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
