[izpack-users] IZPack Ant task - native files are not taken from ${basedir} but from current directory

I encountered a similar problem. My solution was to add this to the
performAction method of AntAction.java:

After: antProj.setSystemProperties();

// Set the working directory of the ant task to be the same as the
// folder in which the xml file lives.
File buildFile = new File(getBuildFile());
antProj.setBaseDir(buildFile.getParentFile());

I do not guarantee that this is terribly robust, but it seems to work for
me.

Cheers,
Craig
