Hi,
I love the macrodef task. However, it has a weakness. We must be very
careful if using property within the macrodef. I face problem with a
macrodef that is more complicated than the following example. I have
to use dirname and condition in my macrodef, but it cause problem if I
invoke macrodef for more than one time as the property has been set
for the first time. Here is an example that trying to replay the
situation I face:
<macrodef name="a">
<attribute name="module"/>
<sequential>
<property name="myvalue" value="@{module}"/>
<echo>${myvalue}</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<target name="build">
<a module="venus"/>
<a module="mars"/>
</target>
I expect the output should be
[echo] venus
[echo] mars
but it turn out:
[echo] venus
[echo] venus
I think this is a common issue using macrodef and there are some
temporary solution to pass a temporary property name to the macrodef.
This is not feasible in my situation as I need to pass more than 5 to
10 properties to my macrodef.
Some other solution is using local property but I couldn't find this
task. I am using ANT 1.7.0.
Any solution? Please advice. Thank you very much.
