Refer to the test.sh attached by
Case 1:
cd build/node
ant
Here we don't pass the basedir property, so it is set by the Project class by
parsing the build.xml
Case 2:
cd ../..
ant -Dbasedir=build/node
Here basedir is passed using -D option. Properties passed using -D are JVM
properties and not Ant properties, i.e the JVM will set the system properties
before it loads Ant MainClass.
It is by design that ant doesn't overwrite the properties already set, since JVM
doesn't do autoconvertion os strings to paths lkie ant, the basedir property is
set to a TEXT valu of build/node.
Consider
<property name="xxxx" location="yyyy"/> here the absolute path of yyyy will be
assigned to the property name xxxx, however since JVM doesn't know the specific
type of the property using -Dxxxx=yyyy won't translate the value to a absolute path.
if basedir needs to be passed to ant using -D then make sure you set the value
to the absolute path.
