Is it possible to change ant property location attribute with .properties file like
property value attribute?
ant.xml
<property name="images" location="some_location" />
ant.properties
name=D:\images
See ant manual propertyfile => there is no attribute called location.
The location attribute from property task is only a ‘special’ case of a value, that knows how to deal
with absolute and relative pathes.
If you need to edit | overwrite existing property values(locations) use either :
ant script task (groovy or groovy task recommended)
or some Ant addon like Flaka or Antcontrib, providing tasks for that purpose.
