AW: Empty properties

[Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de]

I usually set the properties with a default value directly for using them.

<project>
    ...
    <target>
        ...
        <property name="myprop" value="default" />
        <echo>${myprop}</echo>


Because property can be only set once the default is only used if the
property isn´t set before.
And I can be sure, that im my task (<echo>) the property has a valid value.
If an empty value is valid write
        <property name="myprop" value="" />

Hope that helps.

Betreff: Empty properties

Is it possible to make ant not to use the property name of unset 
properties, so that

<echo>${myunsetproperty}</echo>

does not print

[echo]${myunsetproperty}

We'd prefer it to be empty instead...
