Repeditive Component Building

The end product for a project is a set of EJB jar files.  While using Ant, I find myself using the same set of tasks, only a couple of arguments are different.  After running a few tests and looking through the Ant source code,  I believe that Ant statically binds task arguments on startup, preventing them from changing during the execution of the build process, even if the argument contains a property.  Is it possible to define one set of tasks but have the argument values change during the build process?

Thanks
