Loading Properties From a File

[Matthew Oatham <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I had my build script and properties in the same dir and had the basdir set 
to "." I have now moved the build file and properties files down the 
directory tree and set the basdir to "../.." now the properties files arn't 
picked up, ant expects to find them in the place they used to be i.e the 
location of my basedir.

How can I load my properties files from the same location as by build file 
when the basdir is set to "../.."

Cheers.

Matt

Load the property file with 'file="dir1/dir2/file.properties"' where
'dir1/dir2' are the directories represented by '../..' in the ${basedir}

You can also use ${user.dir} which will be the directory where Ant was
invoked from.
