Can properties set in a build called from another build be reference by the calling buildfile?

[Dave <da...@gmail.com>]

I have two ant scripts. A target in build-1 has dependencies on a target in
build-2. Those dependences are called using the <ant> task. The target in
build-1 will run depending on whether or not a property is set by a
<condition> task in the target in build-2. I wondering can (and if not, how
could it be done) the original build-1 read properties set by build-2?

<ant> and <antcall> set up a new proiject with it's own
set of properties, properties set in the new project are
not seen by the calling project.

To do what you want I would advice using <import> and
perhaps <macrodef> to refactor so that only one project
is used.

Alternatively one can use ant-contribs' <antcallback> task:
