property problems

[Nathan Coast <na...@levelseas.com>]

Hi,

I have a scenario where in the process of building a component,
sub-components are built. In doing so, a generic build file is used to build
the top level component.  This generic build file calls the sub-component
build files. these files in turn can call the generic build file (with
different values for properties).  The problem I'm seeing is that the
properties in the generic script aren't being updated the second time into
the file.

is updating of properties like this legal?

Cheers
Nathan

or not using it explicitly?

I think Nathan wants to set inheritAll to false when invoking the
subbuilds.

Properties can be modified using the <property> sub-element of <ant> (which
is what I'm assuming you're using to call a sub-component build, right?)

Are you setting inheritAll?

What version of Ant are you using?  Could you provide a simple example of
what is not working as you'd like?
