Hi all. I have a file, antPropterty.xml that I want to include to my build.xml file. I tired this: ]> &include; The problem is that ant tries to find the antProperties.xml in the same dir as my build.xml - file , but the file is actually located somewhere else. :\dir_1\dir_2\antProperties.xml :\dir_a\dir_b\build.xml Ant says: Cannot find \dir_a\dir_b\dir_1\dir_2\antProperties.xml How can I fix this ?
