<title>Local Task</title>

<body>

<h2>Local</h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Adds a local property to the current scope. Property scopes exist at Ant's
various "block" levels. These include targets as well as the
<a href="parallel.html">Parallel</a> and <a href="sequential.html">Sequential</a>
task containers (including <a href="macrodef.html">Macrodef</a> bodies). A local
property at a given scope "shadows" properties of the same name at higher scopes,
including the global scope. Note that using the Local task at the global
level effectively makes the property local to the "anonymous target" in which
top-level operations are carried out; it will not be defined for other targets
in the buildfile. <b>Since Ant 1.8</b></p>
