Ok, I have been using ant for quite some time now but I seem to have run =
across something I do not understand.

I have a beanshell script inside of a target.  It contains the following =
lines of code

<target name=3D"test">

    <script language=3D"beanshell"> <![CDATA[
    ...
    if ( booleanCondition ) {
       project.setProperty("some.property","some.value");
    }

    ]]>  </script>

    <echo message=3D"[1] property is ${some.property}"/>
</target>

... later on in the build file

<target name=3D"nextTarget">
   <echo message=3D"[2] property is ${some.property}"/>
</target>

Ok, where the echo's occur [1] echos the value of the property.  In the =
"nextTarget" which executes after "test" target does the
echo value does not display the value of the property as if it was =
unset.  Is this a bug in the way changes are made to a project
from within a script?  It seems as long as you are within the same =
target where the script set a property you can see it.  When you go to =
the next
target in the same build file (same project) the property is not there.

I know I have set properties in targets before and then referred back to =
them in other targets.  Can anyone shed any light on what might be =
happening.
I am using ant1.6beta, bsf2.3.0 and beanshell 1.3

thanks

Doug


Now I've gained some understanding=20
Of the only world that we see.
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality.

These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me,
Just one more who's searching for
A world that ought to be.
