You're right - adding the following line to build build.xml did the trick:
<property file="test.properties"/>
So why doesn't it work with -propertyfile? I want to be able to specify
different property files on the cmd line, and I was hoping to take advantage of
this feature.

You have to import the property file or declare the properties in the build

Subject: inline property expansion not working as advertised
>From the Property task docs
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/property.html)
================================
In-file property expansion is very cool. Learn to use it.
Example:
build.compiler=jikes
deploy.server=lucky
deploy.port=8080
deploy.url=http://${deploy.server}:${deploy.port}/
================================
So I created a properties file with the above
and the following build.xml file:
==================================
deploy.url is ${deploy.url}
==================================
The I ran it as follows:
$ ant -propertyfile test.properties
Here is the output:
==================================
Buildfile: build.xml
test:
[echo] deploy.url is http://${deploy.server}:${deploy.port}/
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
==================================
I'm using ant 7.0.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
- mps
