Ant Property Names

[Paul Duncan <Pa...@yolus.com>]

Hello,
 
How long can an Ant Property name be?  What characters am I allowed to
put in an Ant property name?  I am setting Ant properties with names set
according to the values of macrodef attributes and want to ensure that I
will not potentially attempt to set an invalid name.  I am using Ant
1.6.2.  Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Paul Duncan

No limit.

Any.  But you won't be able to use a property whose name contains the
character } from inside your build file.

Also XML sets certain limits on the characters you can use inside the
build file (characters < 32 except for the whitespace characters are
illegal, for example).
