I am trying to set some properties depending on what the os is. The main
reason is that the user.home property does not properly reflect the users
home directory (for files) on a windows machine. Instead you need the "My
Documents" subdirectory of this. I attempted to do this as follows:
<target name="basic">
<tstamp/>
<antcall target="${os.name}"/>
</target>
<target name="Linux">
<property name="homedir" value="${os.name}"/>
</target>
<target name="Windows">
<property name="homedir" value="${os.name}"/>
</target>
<target name="Windows 2000" depends="Windows">
</target>
<target name="Windows 98" depends="Windows">
</target>
<target name="Windows 95" depends="Windows">
</target>
Unfortunatley from what I can tell, the property homedir no longer exists
after the antcall task is complete. Is there any way to pass these back, or
another way of doing what I am trying to achieve? The only other thought I
had was to put ${os.name} in as a dependency to the basic target, but it
seems that properties cant be used there.
