Passing property from subproject back to parent project
Hi,
I use ANT to build a number of subprojects all controlled from one master parent ANT build file. I use the <ant antfile="subproject1/build.xml" target="test"/> task to call various targets in subprojects.
In the subproject-targets I set properties, but they are not available in the parent project. The manual for the "ant" task says that a new project is created for each ant call, so I assume that's why the properties are not set in the parent project.
Here my question:
Is there a way how I can access properties set in a subproject in the parent project?
Here is one use case:
In subprojects I use the junit failureproperty option to indicate a test failure, I don't fail the build on a test failure, because I want to run tests for all subprojects and generate reports, etc. In my parent project I want to check for these properties and generate an HTML summary page with links to the detailed results.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rico

Simple answer: No.
More complex answer: You could create a file using echo tasks that
would write a *.properties file that would then be read in by the
calling build script. Very intelligent, but I think this would be the
only way of doing it.
