------- Additional Comments From peter.reilly@corvil.com  2003-11-20 15:09 -------
I think that he is assumming that the second property should
be seen as value="${${ant.project.name}.cvstag}"
winding up with "${lib.cvstag}" or "release1-5".

This is not the way property subs work - use
ant-contrib propertycopy for this feature.

<project basedir="." default="all" name="lib">
  <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
  <property file="p.props"/>

  <target name="all">
    <property name="cvs.tag.name" value="${ant.project.name}.cvstag"/>
    <propertycopy name="cvs.tag.value.doeswork" from="${cvs.tag.name}"/>
    <property name="cvs.tag.value.works" value="${lib.cvstag}"/>
    <echo message="CVS tag is ===> ${cvs.tag.value.doeswork}"/>
    <echo message="CVS tag is ===> ${cvs.tag.value.works}"/>
  </target>
</project>

Marking as wontfix
