get Property with java

[Taner Diler <ta...@riskturk.com>]

Hi,

I try to get property that in defined in build.xml by using java. How 
can I do that?

build.xml

<...>
    <property name="property_1" value="1"/>
</...>

and java code

        Project ant = new Project();
        ProjectHelper helper = new ProjectHelperImpl();
        ant.init();
        helper.parse(ant, new File(xmlFile));
        String property_1 = ant.getProperty("property_1");

When I run this code, Null is returned by "ant.getProperty("property_1")".

import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;

public class Find extends Task {

    private String property;
    private String value;
    private String print;

    public void setProperty(String property) {
        this.property = property;
    }

    // setter for value and print

    public void execute() {
        if (print != null) {
            String propValue = *getProject().getProperty(print)*;
            log(propValue);
        } else {
            if (property == null) throw new BuildException("property not set");
            if (value    == null) throw new BuildException("value not set");
            *getProject().setNewProperty(property, value)*;
        }
    }
}

I recommend you to go to the ant's site, then go to the manual link, 
Developing with Ant and the last tutorial is called "Tasks using Properties, 
Filesets & Patths"
