$ at end of property value

[Colin 't Hart <ct...@gbs.com.au>]

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with Ant when there is a dollar sign ($)
at the end of a property value,

eg:

<property name="version" value="$Revision: $" />

reports

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 12

Ant seems to want to check that the next character is a '{'.

Please CC me on replies.

Cheers,

Colin

This should be fixed by a patch commited by Conor yesterday, please
try with the CVS version or the latest snapshot.

 C'H> eg:

 C'H> <property name="version" value="$Revision: $" />

But you'll still need to change that to

<property name="version" value="$$Revision: $$" />

to get the expected result.
