Description Darin Swanson

2003-03-13 16:41:57 EST

The properties tab for the Ant launch configuration shows nothing about the 
global properties.

It should be made more like the classpath page...option to override the global.
Currently you have to specify a local property to remove or override a global 
property.

Reopening...

Note - since we are considering "appending" behavior in the classpath tab, we 
should do the same for properties. I.e. "default global properties plus my 
specific properties" (like "default classpath plus my specific classpath 
entries"). Also allow for modifying the globals. We need to come up with a 
consistent UI for this.

I have coded this up yesterday to mimic the current implementation of the 
classpath tab.
We can then adapt this to the changes that come out of the classpath tabs.

Released first version that mimics current implementation of the classpath tab.
For M4 we can come up with a consistent appending behavior for all of the tabs.

Changes to AntPropertiesBlock, AntPropertiesTab and InternalAntRunner.

Comment 7 Darin Swanson

Currently looks correct but need to ensure that global properties do not take 
precedence over local properties.

Work is progressing on bug 34297..which is the model for all of these.
Should be there early in M5

The bug with the most changes to milestone...

Comment 10 Darin Swanson

Cleaned up some of the last problems here.
Global properties were always applied for remote ant builds. 

Fixed in AntLaunchDelegate.

Please verify DarinW.

Comment 12 Darin Wright

Modified code in AntLaunchDelegate. Looks like the loop to apply global 
properties was not required if there are user properties (i.e. we loop thru 
but ignore each gloabal property). Added code to shortcut the loop.

Comment 13 Darin Wright

Changes in AntLaunchDelegate

Comment 14 Darin Wright

2004-05-17 17:39:28 EDT

Please verify (that I understand the code :-)

Comment 15 Darin Swanson

2004-05-17 17:56:44 EDT

Good catch..you understand the code :-)

Verified.
