propertyfile task and escaping
Hello,
Scenario: Ant 1.8.0 on WinXP
is there a way to avoid escaping chars by propertyfile task?
The following task
<propertyfile file="myFile.properties">
<entry key="MY_URL" value="http://mydomain/"/>
</propertyfile>
produces the following file
MY_URL=http\://mydomain/
that is bad.
I know there are other solutions, like echoing a new property file
(but I have a lot of other properties inside the file that I don't
have to change, and I would like not to list them just because of the
new file creation) and/or using the simple replace task (but I should
know the original value of the property to indicate the token, and I
don't know it).
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
Jo

This is not bad, this is the convention for java property files which
ant is following.

I think using concat you could do what you want. You want to concatenate
the old (or template) property file together with the other properties
that you are
generating on the fly.
