Class PropertyFile

Modifies settings in a property file.

The following is an example of its usage:

</target>

The <propertyfile> task must have:

• file

Other parameters are:

• comment, key, operation, type and value (the final four being eliminated shortly)

The <entry> task must have:

• key

Other parameters are:

• operation
• type
• value
• default
• unit

If type is unspecified, it defaults to string Parameter values:

• operation:

• "=" (set -- default)
• "-" (dec)
• "+" (inc)
• type:

• "int"
• "date"
• "string"

value:

• holds the default value, if the property was not found in property file
• "now" In case of type "date", the value "now" will be replaced by the current date/time and used even if a valid date was found in the property file.

String property types can only use the "=" operation. Int property types can only use the "=", "-" or "+" operations.

The message property is used for the property file header, with "\\" being a newline delimiter character.
