task, inheritAll=false and ant.version property
It seems that something has changed between Ant 1.6.2 and 1.7.0 in the
way the ant.version property is handled when another build file is
invoked using the <ant> task.
Given the following files:
main-build.xml:
<project name="test-case-main-build" default="main-build">
<target name="main-build">
<echo>Ant version is ${ant.version}</echo>
<ant antfile="sub-build.xml" inheritAll="false"/>
</target>
</project>
sub-build.xml:
<project name="test-case-sub-build" default="sub-build">
<target name="sub-build">
<echo>Ant version is ${ant.version}</echo>
</target>
</project>
I get the following results:
Ant 1.6.2:
C:\...>ant -f main-build.xml
Buildfile: main-build.xml
main-build:
[echo] Ant version is Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16
2004
sub-build:
[echo] Ant version is Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16
2004
But with Ant 1.7.0:
C:\...>ant -f main-build.xml
Buildfile: main-build.xml
main-build:
[echo] Ant version is Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December
13 2006
sub-build:
[echo] Ant version is ${ant.version}
Is this an Ant bug? It seems reasonable that ant.version should not be
inherited, but I would have expected the new Ant "environment" to detect
its own version and set the property (and maybe other ant.* properties
too), and clearly it did that before.
Thanks,
Keith
