[Xdoclet-devel] [Fwd: Re: Specifying properties from the command line?]

[Erik Hatcher]

There are some Gump issues with XDoclet and overriding properties being
discussed on the ant-dev list.

Thoughts?

I haven't had a look at <builder> but we should investigate properties being passed down somehow.

Wow, their build is complex. I did a run with the version property override
and it created two copies of many jars, one with my version and one with
their version number.

I've had a quick look into it and one definite problem is the module builder
custom task. This invokes a separate instance of Ant (using exec classes).
This sub-instance does not inherit any properties from the controlling ant
build (the one for which you set the version property).

The only sure fire way I can see to control the version is to munge the
build.properties file before starting the build.
