setting properties
Newbie question:
I created an ant wrapper that calls the build.xml. The issue I have is
that the build.xml call a user.properties and overrides the values I set
for the environment.
Each developer has everything mapped to a d: drive, i.e. ant, weblogic,
etc. I want it to use my values for my build server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Given that the properties in ant are immutable, you should have the
defaults set in a properties file and override them in your environment.
This is opposite of what you describe, where you are attempting to set
defaults in your environment and override them with a properties file.

Thanks for the replies. This is what I did to get it to work. This is
not the best way I am sure, but it works in a pinch.
<ant
antfile="${soa.EBSToAthenaWS.location}/${SOA.EBSToAthenaWS.build.file}"
target="archive"
inheritAll="false" >
<property name="env" value="${env}"/>
<property
file="E:/SOA_Build_Area/BuildScripts/EBSToAthenaWS/build.properties"/>
</ant>

Properties are immutable so once set further overridings are ignored.
Properties which are passed from the command line with -D are set first.

i guess he asks for user specific propertyfiles.
maybe like that =
use the ant builtin properties ${user.home} or ${user.name}
${user.home}, put the user.properties in home directory
<property file="${user.home}/user.properties"/>
${user.name}, create a propertyfile for every user
<property file="${user.name}.properties"/>
this will load the user specific propertyfiles
