passing the name of a property file as parameter
Hi,
I have an Ant script which should use a property file. But I want to pass the name of the file as an argument from a script. I've red the FAQ but can't get it working :(
Here's an example of what I want to do:
--windows.bat
ant deploy -Dproperty.file=properties.win
--linux.bat
ant deploy -Dproperty.file=properties.linux
--build.xml
<echo>properties:${property.file}</echo>
displays nothing for me. I even tried to define the property first:
<property name="property.file" value="" />
So what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks, Lothar
