Jan, 
My environment is OK :)) Let the original requestor
comments whether this is useful for him.

Yes, I checked that. The prompt appears if and only if
project.src.dir is not set. But I also observed
something else: when the prompt of <input> appeared I
typed ${basedir}/src and the result was that
${basedir} was not expanded in the value of the
property. Here is the the input/output:

prompt:
    [input] Enter sources dir
${basedir}/src <-- This was entered by me
     [echo] project.src.dir is ${basedir}/src

So do you think that it may be useful if, say,
"expandProperty" attribute is added to the <input>,
controlling whether the properties in the input be
expanded?
