Description Jesse Glick 2006-01-29 01:09:23 UTC 
Some build scripts may define a special basedir="..." and rely on file paths
inside the script being relative to that basedir. If you wish to load properties
in project.xml from some *.properties in the project, this could make it
difficult to keep build.xml in synch with project.xml.

Workaround in case you can modify build.xml is to define in build.properties:

custom.basedir=....

and use that in both build.xml and project.xml.

Changing the default component owner to tzezula.
Comment 2 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:37:59 UTC 
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,
