Summary: Make sysproperty a top level element to set system
properties of ant
Product: Ant
Version: 1.6.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: omeyer@i3.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
I'd like to be able to define java system properties in the build.xml file. For
example I need to set a proxy (socksProxyHost) for the <scp> task that runs
within the virtual machine ant runs in. Until now, the only way to do this is to
give the properties to the ant call itself or define it for my ant installation.
But I want to define them in the build.xml file itself.
A simple way to do this would be to allow the <sysproperty> element as a direct
child of the <project> element. Evaluating the element would call
System.getProperties.setProperty(key, value) making that system property
available for all other tasks withing ant.

For the particular problem of proxy setup (and it is a problem, especially on
roaming laptops), what is wrong with the <setproxy> task?

The only problem with <setproxy> is that I did not look for something like that
:-) Thanks, it solved my problem, so I'm reducing priority for this enhancement.
It still sounds like a good idea to me, though, so the enhancement is still open.
