I have the following script:
<project default="test">
<property name="prop2" value="value2-${prop1}"/>
<property name="prop1" value="value1"/>
<target name="test">
<echo>prop2 as property (from target) : ${prop2}</echo>
<test/>
</target>
<macrodef name="test">
<attribute name="prop2" default="${prop2}"/>
<sequential>
<echo>prop2 as property (from macrodef) : ${prop2}</echo>
<echo>prop2 as attribute (from macrodef) : @{prop2}</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
</project>
The output is:
D:\tmp>ant
Buildfile: build.xml
test:
[echo] prop2 as property (from target) : value2-${prop1}
[echo] prop2 as property (from macrodef) : value2-${prop1}
[echo] prop2 as attribute (from macrodef) : value2-value1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
The output of the first 2 <echo>'s are what I expected, but the
third <echo> output seems odd.
Is this normal ANT behaviour, or should this be considered a bug
for which I should open a bug report?
Btw, I got this behaviour on ANT 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.
Best regards,
