Redefine property in the children Target
This example illustrates how to define the property file whether it is
local or global. When you create build.properties on local target, then
the echo message prints that this file is Local but when the file
is not created on local target, then it shows the message Global
file.
The <property name="build.property"
value="Global"/> element is used to define global build.properties
file and <property name="build.property"
value="Target"/> is used to define local build.properties
file. The target <target name="global-file"> is used to
print the global value of build.properties file and <target
name="local-file"> is used to print local value of build.properties
file.
Source code of build.xml:
|
<project name="Properties" default="local-file" basedir=".">
<property file="build.properties"/>
<property name="build.property" value="Global"/>
<property name="build.property" value="Target"/>
<target name="global-file">
<echo message="The value of build.property is: ${build.property}"/>
</target>
<target name="local-file" depends="global-file">
<echo message="The value of build.property is: ${build.property}"/>
</target>
</project>
