Ant Refactors

[scottbdr]

Hi, just noticed that if you do a property name refactor, not all of the references get changed in an Ant build. Specifically, if you are utilizing the xmlns:if="ant:if" and xmlns:unless="ant:unless" namespaces for conditional execution (see https://ant.apache.org/manual/ifunless.html), these namespaced attribute values are not updated by a property name refactor. I'm sure Ant is not a huge priority for you, and I can see how this would have been missed (or deferred) but this particular thing can cause some real heartache if not caught by the developer.

Thanks, Scott

Hi,

Thanks for the problem report, I can reproduce it on my side and added an internal issue to look into fixing it. Pasting the issue ID below for future reference:

EXM-52739 Ant - rename property does not take if:set/unless:set into account

If we manage to fix this problem in a future version we'll update this thread.

Regards,
Radu

Thanks for the response... the other one I couldn't remember when I posted this was the lack of a "location" attribute on the "property" element contextual menus - I use it a lot and I'm lazy so having it would be awesome.

Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,
Thanks, makes sense, added this extra issue for it:

EXM-52750 Add support for proposing location attribute on property element

Hi,
As an update, our new release of Oxygen 26 should have fixes for both of these reported problems.
