env and build.properties file?

[Ray Tayek <rt...@attbi.com>]

hi, having trouble with env and the build.properties file.

on win98se with ant 1.4, using: <property environment="env"/> seems to hose 
dos box randomly. this does seem to work better if the script is run from 
netbeans, but running a .bat file to set the environment variables does not 
seem work nor does putting a build.properties file in the c:/netbean (which 
is user.dir).

it seems putting some stuff into a build.properties fails on the win98 and 
also on linux with ant 1.4.1. in the following way: ant does not seem to 
find my build.properties file if it is in the current directory (same as 
build.xml) or if it is my home directory. it *does* find and use the 
properties file if i do an explicit: <property file="build.properties"/>

anybody got a clue?

thanks
