There already is a way to provide default values for properties, the property
task.

What you are trying to do is

<target name="mycall">
  <property name="url" value="http://mmm.com"/>
  <java ...>
    <arg value="${url}"/>
  </java>
</target>

where the property task won't do anything if the url property has already been
set via the command line.

Another option would be the props Antlib with something like

  <java ...>
    <arg value="${url:=http://mmm.com}"/>
  </java>

but since it hasn't been released yet, I'm reluctant to recommending it.
