[oXygen-user] Using my own Ant build file in a DITA scenario

[Florent Georges]

  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?

  Regards,
