overriding ant property name from another build file

[Klament J. Kruoghst]

Hi there, I have a build script (scriptA) importing another build script (scriptB) - they are both in different directories. I'm calling a target on the ScriptA using antcall but I need to override a property name on scriptA from scriptB.
In an example this is what i'm trying to say:

ScriptA

<project name="scriptA">
	<property name="prop1" location="../path" />
    	
	<target name="targetA">
		<taskdef name="taskA" classname="my.class">
      		<classpath>
        		<pathelement location="${prop1}/some.jar" />
	      	</classpath>
	</target>
</project>

ScriptB

<project name="scriptB">
	<import file="../../path/scriptA.xml"/>
	<target name="targetB">
		<antcall target="targetA">
		*** I need something here to override prop1?? ***
	</target>
</project>

The basic problem at the end of the day is that when I'm calling ScriptA from ScriptB the prop1 path seems to be running from ScriptA home directory not from ScriptB's home directory.

any ideas?

Thanks

Take a look at the <param> tag that you can nest in antcall. It works like passing properties on the command line which take precedence over any defined in the script.
