It seems that once a property has its = value set, it=20 cannot be set to

a new value subsequently. Is that = right?

I have 2 targets:

  <javac = srcdir=3D"${basedir}"=20 target=3D"${JAVA_JDK_VERSION}">
    &source= Pattern;=20
  </javac>

</target>

  <copy=20 todir=3D"${DISTRIBUTE_PLUGIN_CLASSES}">
   <files= et=20 dir=3D"${basedir}">
    &sourcePattern;=20
   </fileset>
  </copy>

</target>

The entity sourcePattern is defined in = terms of the=20 extension property:

<!ENTITY sourcePattern=20 '
  <patternset>
   <include=20 name=3D"&buildDir;/EventTime.${extension}"/>
   = <include=20 name=3D"&buildDir;/EventOutMail.${extension}"/>
  <= ;/patternset>
'>

When I do the distribute target, which = depends on=20 compile, it attempts

to copy the *.java and not the *.class = versions of=20 the files.

Is that right? I would have = wanted the=20 "extension" property value

to be reset in each target, but that = doesn't appear=20 to be happening.

The docs are unclear in this = case. Is it=20 meant to be resettable,

or not, and if not, why not. It = would=20 certainly make life easier to

have this abillity.
