hi

could anyone explain why, given the build.xml below, i get this:

[14] /Development/tmp > ant -debug
Ant version 1.4.1 compiled on October 11 2001
Buildfile: build.xml
Setting project property: ant.java.version -> 1.3
Detected Java version: 1.3 in: c:\java\jdk1.3.1\jre
Detected OS: Windows NT
 <snip/>
Setting project property: env.MSDEVDIR -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\MSDev98 
 <snip/>
Build sequence for target `all' is [all]
Complete build sequence is [all]

all:
Skipped because property '${env.MSDEVDIR}' not set.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

build.xml:

<project name="WebRAO" default="all" basedir=".">
	<property environment="env"/>
	<target name="all" if="${env.MSDEVDIR}">
		<echo message="MSDEVDIR=${env.MSDEVDIR}"/>
	</target>
</project>


TIA
