Replacement of propertyhelper is broken in current ant: see: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40093 and http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25998 However some people have done it see: http://www.efanomars.net/pf/
My feeling that the replacement of propertyhelper was always broken and it is a very heavy handed way of adding custom property handling. Note that PropertyHelper also provides an alternative way of adding optional behavour - using hooks. I think that this is also broken (I do not understand what it is meant to do). PropertyHelper also has "namespace" attributes ... which do not get used. Peter On 9/20/06, Marcus Lindblom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'll see what I can come up with then. :) I got response on the bugzilla issue, that there is a PropertyHelper class that I should be able to override to do this. It is, apparently, just a bit awkward to replace the current instance. However, I was informed that it should be doable with a <script> task. Fair enough. :) .. I'm posting here be Has anyone any experience with doing that, because I don't know where to set that class? (I'd assume not, otherwise I would have expected to be pointed there on my first post. :) PropertyHelper.getPropertyHelper(Project p) .. doesn't seem get what I want, and the doc for that function indicates that it's a factyr method, thus creating a new object. Any input? Cheers, /Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
