launching many similar java programs
I have many similar java programs that I want to be able to launch from
ant (1.6). I can easily re-use the classpath declarations. Is there
some way to re-use (short of copying) a handful of <sysproperty>
declarations?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think you could define them in
.properties file... load them in with <property file="..."
prefix="..."/> and then use a prefixed <propertyset>. No?

That just seems very short-sighted. That means I have define all
those properties as Ant properties. and then "reference" them in my
property set (one at a time, in my case). Very disjoint, somewhat
repetative, and cluttering. (But at least there appears to be a way to
do it)

Yes, use multiple <propertyref>s.

Correct, though you can change their names on the fly by using a
mapper or select a set of properties at once by using prefix or a
regular expression.

Is there no way in a property set to manually specify a handful of
properties? You can only refer to existing properties?

Define the properties in a <propertyset id="x"> type, and use the
<syspropertyset> nested element
added to <java> in ant 1.6.
