os independent paths
Hi,
found the ant website a bit cryptic when i looked up pathconvert. I
hope someone can help me.
I would like to be able to take one of my properties such as
${build.dir}, (defined as build.dir=war/WEB-INF) and and then convert
that into a os-dependent path to use in my config files.
So, for windows, I would get a property like this :
C:\Projects\myapp\war\WEB-INF
In unix I would get this:
/usr/rak/projects/myapp/war/WEB-INF
Ant of course will choose the correct one based on the os it is running on.
Thanks
Rakesh

Just use the location attribute of property:
<property name="build.dir.abs" location="${build.dir}"/>
