Daniel,
The properties file is just another build file. As you can include build
files, there are several ways you can achieve what you want:
A) In your master build file, include the properties file
<include buildfile="${userpath}/config.xml" />
B) Include the build file from the user's file with properties
<include buildfile="..\common\daily.build.xml" />
<!-- define user specific properties after the main file is included, so
that we can override any defaults -->
<property name="userprop" value="userval" />
...
C) Execute the build file from the user's file
<property name="userprop" value="userval" />
...
<nant buildfile="${project.build.file}" target="build" inheritall="true"/>
The difference between including and executing (via nant task) is in the
base folder of the included/executed files.
If you need more info, let me know.
Cheers,
Damir

Subject: [Nant-users] Including external properties files
Hello,
I'm new to Nant. Is there any way to include external properties files from
a build file? That is, I would like to seperate (global) properties and
actions, so different users can have different configurations.
