--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org> ---
This is what happens: Everytime you write @text in your macro2 it gets replaced
with ${print.this} and them properties get expanded so you see "execute this". 
In the last case you end up with ${output-${print.this}} before expansion and
Ant doesn't do any nested peoperty expansion - so this is the expected
behavior.

You should be able to use the props Antlib for a propertyhelper that supports
nested property expansion or rewrite your macro to not nest properties, for
example by using a local property as outputproperty.
