Moving to Ant 1.4
Because I'm using my installed Ant 1.4 set to build the various projects
I have the avalon cvs' ready for it to be commited.
Any objections?

Essentially the error is that system properties are not injected into newly
formed project so that something like
<property file="${user.home}/.ant.properties"/>
is unable to be evaluated and thus all the settings in my home directory are
not enabled for any subproject. The easiest way to test this would be to put
something in ~/.ant.properties and watch to see if it gets set in the project
called by antcall.
The other advantage is that the CVS version of ant has faaar superior output
when running "ant -projecthelp" which many of Avalons build files now
recomend doing. Maybe when 1.4.1 comes out we can upgrade then.

Hmm.. i haven't got any errors building various targets (including dist)
on Cornerstone? Do you have a test case for it? I've downloaded the
ant-1.4 dist today.

yup - unfortunately ancall with inheritall="false" triggers a bug in released
ant. As we use it all the way through cornerstone I don't think we can switch
to released ant.
