Hi, I tried to use a custom Ant build file for one of my DITA scenarios. Within that script, I import the Ant script from DITA OT in the oXygen distribution, and I set a value for a specific property: <project basedir="." name="..."> <import file="/.../frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/demo/fo/build.xml"/> <property name="some.ot.prop" value="..."/> </project> The problem is that the build.xml in oXygen distro contains import instructions with properties: <import file="${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build_fop.xml"/> <import file="${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build_axf.xml"/> <import file="${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build_xep.xml"/> and when I run the transform scenario, Ant complains that it cannot find the file /.../fo/${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build_fop.xml (see? the property has not been expanded). The error is: BUILD FAILED /.../my-build.xml:3: The following error occurred while executing this line: /.../fo/build.xml:29: Cannot find /.../fo/${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build_fop.xml imported from /.../fo/build.xml What did I miss? How can I make sure the same properties are loaded in both cases? Is there any built-in mechanism in oXygen to overload Ant properties without setting my own build file?
