Summary: ${property_value} doesn't expand in description (FEATURE
REQUEST)
Product: Ant
Version: 1.6.5
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: AntUnit
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: dennis.bednar@comcast.net
Given this small demo file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project default="compile">
<property name="jarfile" value="Hello.jar" />
<target name="init" description="initialization stuff">
<echo>FAKE init step</echo>
</target>
<target name="compile" description="compile java stuff step and builds
${jarfile}"
depends="init">
<echo>FAKE compile step</echo>
<echo>building ${jarfile}</echo>
</target>
</project>
when I run "ant -p" i see this:
Buildfile: build.xml
Main targets:
compile compile java stuff step and builds ${jarfile}
init initialization stuff
Default target: compile
I expect the ${jarfile} to be expanded in the description. It would be
nicer ...

The problem here is that we dont want to execute the build file before printing
the description --imagine the consequences if -p had side effects.
I'm not sure we should even try to fix this, as it would fundamentally change
the semantics of a -p operation. You are free to use <echo> statements to in a
help target to provide more detail.

Note that -p already does have side effects, if you have top-level tasks.
<project>
<echo>Run first!</echo>
<description>Some text</description>
</project>
->
Run first!
