I have a default properties file that has a series of incrementally
built paths:
olsweb.dir=OLSWeb
web.dir=${olsweb.dir}/Web Content
webinf.dir=${web.dir}/WEB-INF
....
The properties file is referenced from my build.xml like so:
<property file="default.properties"/>
This works correctly when executed from the command line using Ant
1.5.3.1. When I run this build file from within Eclipse, I get errors
from Ant tasks when they attempt to use the properties because they are
unexpanded. For example:
[javac] BUILD FAILED: file:C:/Development/OBTest/build.xml:33:
destination directory "C:\Development\OBTest\${webinf.dir}\classes" does
not exist or is not a directory
I could not locate any info in the doc, readme, or ant readme for
1.5.3.1 I'm not sure how Eclipse invokes Ant such that it would behave
differently. Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
-Andre'

Which Eclipse are you using?
In the 3.0 stream I cannot reproduce your problem
My test:
<project default="test">
<property file="default.properties"/>
<target name="test">
<echoproperties/>
</target>
</project>
Relevant output:
[echoproperties] webinf.dir=OLSWeb/Web Content/WEB-INF
[echoproperties]
java.library.path=c\:\\j2sdk1.4.2\\bin;.;C\:\\WINDOWS\\Syste m32;C\:\\WINDOWS
;C\:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C\:\\WINDOWS;C\:\\WINDOWS\\System32\ \Wbem
[echoproperties] web.dir=OLSWeb/Web Content
[echoproperties] java.specification.name=Java Platform API Specification
[echoproperties] java.class.version=48.0
[echoproperties] olsweb.dir=OLSWeb
If you continue to have trouble please log a reproducible bug report against
Platform-Ant
Thanks
