Description Dick Adams CLA 2010-09-01 15:05:18 EDT
Build Identifier: M20090211-1700

When setting an Ant runime property that uses the workspace_loc variable, if the project name is typed (or capitalized) incorrectly, not only is that property not set correctly, but all other properties that use the workspace_loc variable are malformed, and all Ant properties that use string substitution variables are also malformed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an Ant runtime property. For the value, use ${workspace_loc:ABCD}, where "ABCD" is a project that does not exist.

2. Run the following Ant Script:
<project default="all">
	<target name="all">
		<echoproperties />
	</target>
</project>

All of the properties that use workspace_loc or string substitution variables should appear malformed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
