For the purpose of sharing with the user list...I found a technique posted elsewhere. Simply include a property only buildfile in the master buildfile...
<include buildfile="environment.build" /> The included build file contains only properties: <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="My project environment properties" default=""> <property name="output-dir" value="c:\build\myproject-2.0"/> <property name="dot-net-framework-bin" value="C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"/> <property name="env-web-tier-virtual-dir-name" value="MyDotNetWeb"/> <property name="mailhost" value="mailhost.mycompany.com"/> </project> - steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Roy Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file Hi, I was interested in doing this also...Did someone locate a solution for this in NANT? - steve From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:57:32 +0100 Hi Brad, With Ant, you could specify a file in the <property> task to load a set of properties from a file, but in NAnt you have to do this through using the <include> task (as you guessed) to include the properties file. One thing to watch out for (as it often comes up on the list) is if you are using namespaces in your files, make sure that the namespace in your properties file is the same as the one you are including it in otherwise the properties won't be resolved. HTH, Bill >From "Brass Tilde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@lists.sourceforge.net Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25/07/2006 02:34 To <nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net> cc Subject [NAnt-users] Load properties from a file I could have sworn that I saw a task in either NAnt or NAntContrib that would load a set of properties from a separate file. Since I can't find it in either NAnt's or NAntContrib's current documentation, I presume that I was halucinating. If I'm not, would someone please point me to it? If there isn't one, it looks like I could use the <include /> task to accomplish the same thing, i.e. create a file with the properties I want, but not other targets or tasks, and include it in the current build file, correct?
