Re: problem with propertyfile task

[Erik Hatcher <ja...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

Chuck,

This looks and smells just like a bug to me!  :)   I've tried it out and was
not able to use it in the manner you desire (with Ant 1.4).   There have
been no changes in <propertyfile> from 1.3 to 1.4 - so that bug has been
there for a while.

I'll file it in Bugzilla today, and attempt fixing it and submitting a
patch.   I'm copying ant-dev on this in case there is some known workaround
and to alert them of the issue.

    Erik
