Hello, all. I am wrestling with an Ant/Eclipse problem. I want to
define a user.properties file that contains a project name, and then
have ant use that name to import a particular file.
My test build.xml looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test">
<loadproperties srcFile="user.properties"/>
<import file="${projectname}.xml" />
</project>
and my user.properties file contains:
projectname=required
so ant should try to import "required.xml". When I run ant from the
command line, it succeeds. But when I look at my build.xml in Eclipse,
I get the warning:
Cannot find ${projectname}.xml imported from [my build path]/build.xml
Does anyone have any ideas why this occurs? My system is running
Eclipse 3.1.0 (Build id I20050627-1435) on Linux, and my ant classes are
org.eclipse.ant.core 3.1.0, org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.1.0, and org.apache.ant
1.6.5.
Any help or suggestions anyone could provide, or suggestions towards
which group to post this to, would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ed

We have a bug within the Ant editor warning/problem indication.
Eclipse will properly run the buildfile.
The warning in the editor is incorrect.
Logged as
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=126392
The workaround is to use
<project name="test">
<property file="user.properties"/>
<import file="${projectname}.xml" />
</project>
Thanks
