Description

Suppose you have two projects in two directories:

/projA
/projB

Each one of them have its own build.xml.

When you run Ant on /projA/build.xml from /projA evrything is ok.

When you run from "/projB" "ant -f ..\projA\build.xml" relative pathes are based on "projB" by Ivy, whereas the correct way (as Ant and Maven works) is to use "projA" as the base directory (assuming "/projA/build.xml" has "basedir" attribute: ".")

In other words, Ivy should take the base directory as specified in the "build.xml" file in "project" tag in "basedir" attribute, and calculate it based on the location of the build.xml file; not based on the "current" directory where Ant was invoced from.

• is depended upon by: IVYDE-52 Set current working dir to eclipse project location
• is duplicated by: IVY-286 retrieve pattern parameter not resolved relatively to the basedir of the ant project
• is part of: IVY-387 Better and more homogeneous relative paths handling
