RE: InheritAll=false Leaves Java System Properties Undefined

["Murray, Mike" <mb...@ptc.com>]

I finally spent the time to look into this again...

You are right, all values are not returned via keys(), because the built-in properties (eg file.separator) have been moved into the default set.  In order to include the default values when iterating the Properties object returned by System.getProperties(), the propertyNames() method of Properties needs to be used instead of keys().

I searched the 1.6.0 source code and found two obvious misuses of System.getProperties().keys():

	apache-ant-1.6.0\src\main\org\apache\tools\ant\Diagnostics.java (Text):
	00307:	for (Enumeration keys = System.getProperties().keys();
 
	apache-ant-1.6.0\src\main\org\apache\tools\ant\types\PropertySet.java (Text):
	00272:	         e2 = System.getProperties().keys();

Searching for properties().keys, properties.keys & props.keys() turned up additional potential misuses of the method in classes such as Main, Diagnostics, PropertySet, Property, & PropertyHelper.

I guess that "file.separator" is not part of the keys() collection of
System.getProperties() after your code.

Ant iterates over the keys when copying system properties to Ant
properties (that are used to do the ${} expansion).
