Description tjquinn 2014-03-08 16:31:09 UTC 
A project's run properties allow us to set up the runtime environment (e.g., property settings) that are used whenever the project is run.  

In contrast, with an ant .xml file open the context-sensitive Run Target menu shows the Advanced option which allows us to set up properties and the verbosity level.  Those settings are used only if the script is run from the Advanced dialog box.  The settings are remembered but are not used if the script is run using Run Target->(target name). 

I assume that's the intended behavior. 

It would be better if the developer could choose to have the settings on the Advanced screen applied to all runs, even those directly chosen via Run Target->(target name). Then those settings could be applied regardless of how the script was run from the context-sensitive menu.  

(One implementation could be adding a check box on the Advanced pane so those settings would be used for any Run Target->(target name) invocation.)

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
