<ant> task fails to pass properties properly for nested sub projects





------- Additional Comments From holtdl@yahoo.com  2002-04-01 06:57 -------
This looks to be the reason why:
           if (inheritAll){
              newProject.setProperty(arg, value);
           } else {
              newProject.setUserProperty(arg, value);
           }

which means any attempt to reset a property in any cascading of further <ant>'s 
from the first one that has inheritAll="false" won't have any affect on the 
value of whatever properties were passed from that one. Although I can't say 
it's clear to me why the distinction between inheritAll being true vs. false is 
being made, or why it's that particular way around. (But I'm sure there was 
some good reason for it :)
