Reset an existing property
Hello Ant-User.
One, I hope, simple question.
Is it possible to reset an existing property,
something like
<property name="dir.src" value="./src"/>
<property name="dirty.src" value="d:\CVS\...."/>
<property name="dir.src" value="${dirty.src}"/>
The sample is simplify, but it is enough to describe
what I want.
TIA
JD

This is now deprecated behavior though. Properties *should* be immutable
and things have tightened up quite a bit with it in the nightly builds
recently, although this particular "hole" is still open yet a deprecation
warning will be output when overriding a property using <available>

Here is an alternative :
<property name="dir.src" value="./src"/>
<property name="dirty.src" value="d:\CVS\...."/>
<available file="." property="dir.src" value="${dirty.src}"/>
Note: <available> task must be enclosed in some <target>

No need to fear it. Property immutability is one of the features that
makes Ant flexible and powerful, believe it or not. I'm sure if you posed
your scenario to the list that someone could help you resolve it within the
confines of Ant's property rules.

I had feared it.

No.
Properties are immutable!
