Accept Input Parameter During Execution Time

[ch...@cendec.com]

Folks,

I would like to know if there is any way that I can pass in an input
parameter to ant during execution time (e.g. pass in the filename to be
deleted by ant,etc.).  I would think this question should already be asked
by someone.  However, I cannot find it from the archive 8(

Thanks in advance

Chris

pretty simple...

commandline:
ant -Dfilename=<name of file>

build.xml:
<project name="x" default="delete-file" basedir=".">
  <target name="delete-file">
    <delete file="${filename}"/>
  </target>
</project>
