Question Title: ANT -->> Directory access problem
Hi All,
I know the following is valid syntax and also works fine in my case.
<project name="MyProject" default="dist" basedir=".">
<description>
simple example build file
</description>
</project>
But i have different scenario.
Say I have a project called in MyProect in root direectory and it
contains sub directory called MyTest, something like
c:/MyProject/MyTest
and also it contains c:/MyProject/src
now placing my build.xml in c:/MyProject/MyTest foloder I wanted to
compile tje files of c:/MyProject/src
By giving explicitly the value of basedir as /MyProject, I can make
build.xml to work.
But I wanted to access the value of /MyProject/src dynamically.
I have tried basedir"./" and basedir="/./" both doesnot work.
So, Please let me know other solutions, if it is possible
Thanks

Since the build.xml is reaching for files in src and compiling to
classes..jarring to dist
it would really make more sense to locate build.xml in root
(the ../ will get confusing after awhile)

Don't specify basedir in the sub-project build.xml and invoke it via
<ant/> from a build.xml in the c:\MyProject directory (with basedir
"."): the sub-project will inherit the main project's basedir (i.e.
c:\MyProject). Alternatively, access your source directory via ../src
(which seems a bit duff, but workable). Finally, look at the <ant/> and
<subant/> tasks' documentation.

Don't specify basedir in the sub-project build.xml and invoke it via
<ant/> from a build.xml in the c:\MyProject directory (with basedir
"."): the sub-project will inherit the main project's basedir (i.e.
c:\MyProject). Alternatively, access your source directory via ../src
(which seems a bit duff, but workable). Finally, look at the <ant/> and
<subant/> tasks' documentation.
