My intuition says it should be the directory in which the child build.xml lives, but in practice I'm seeing something different. I'm using Ant 1.3, and when I access this property, I see that the basedir property is set to the directory of the parent build.xml file...is this a bug? Thanks in advance, John Casey --openmail-part-1d5fd8fb-00000001--
