This is by design. Properties are immutable, and cannot be unset.

If you do an <antcall inheritAll="false">, you go into a nested Ant Project
which doesn't have the properties set during the parent Ant Project, but
when the <antcall> returns, all properties set within the nested project are
lost. --DD

Subject: unset a property of a project.

Hi,


is there a way to easily unset a property within a project ?
As with Ant1.5 the getProperties() returns a copy of the hashtable I cannot
see a elegant way to do this.

any suggestions `?

thanks,
