Jan,=20
    =20
Yep, its set in the calling ant file,=20
[echo] ${tools.home}=3DC:\LATEST_CODE\tenant/../tools

and not properly set in the ant script that is called.
[echo] ${tools.home}=3D${tools.home}

However, I found a solution, doing the following fixed=20
my problems.=20

<subant buildpath=3D"common/build.xml" target=3D"dist" =
inheritAll=3D"false" >
   <property name=3D"tools.home"  value=3D"${basedir}/../tools" />
   <property name=3D"stack.home"  value=3D"${basedir}/../stack" />
</subant>

for some reason if I pass in a value that is the same as the=20
property name I am trying to use it doesn't evaluate the var=20
properly. A bug perhaps? I am using ANT 1.6.2

Thanks for the help
Casey

Is the property set? Do a=20
  <echo>$${tools.home}=3D${tools.home}</echo>
directly before the <subant>.
