mutable properties from a file
Greetings,
I am trying to read a mutable property from a file (I
use it within a loop). I have tried using the
ant-contrib <var> task with "unset=true" -- as shown
below. But this is not reseting the Ant property??
Does anyone know a maven way of reading properties
from a file which allows for the properties to be
true, mutable variables??
Thanks,
-- Chris
---------------------
This is what I tried::
<ant:echo> ENTER jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
</ant:echo>
<ant:var name="jarsFlist" unset="true" />
<ant:echo> UNSET jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
</ant:echo>
<ant:property file="${jarsListFile}"/>
<ant:echo> FINAL jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
</ant:echo>
-------------------------
And this is what I see::
[echo] ENTER jarsFlist=

Re: mutable properties from a file
Posted by Chris Berry <ch...@yahoo.com>.
Answering my own question.
Use something like teh following::
<u:properties var="props" file="${jarsListFile}"
/>
<j:set var="jarsFlist" value="${props.getProperty(
'jarsFlist' )}" />
Cheers,
