newbie: properties question

[Jeroen Breedveld <j_...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

Are the properties you set in a build file also available for an java 
program you start with the java task?
Normally you would supply the system properties by using:

java -Dpath_to_file_with_properties myproject

The file path_to_file_with_properties would have the format as defined by 
the file used in the class java.util.Properties.

greetings jeroen

Jeroen,

It depends :-)

If you fork the java task then the properties will not be available. If you
do not fork then the System object will contain the properties and be
available to the class that is run.
