The use of () instead of {} perhaps.

Subject: passing parameters to ant
This might be a silly mistake, so I m asking for few more eyes to see
it. Please help!
We have an xml-rpc client calling a method on the server which executes
the following bat file.
Command line from "automated_Builds_Diffs.bat"
cmd /c ant -buildfile
D:\v04_E\Build_Scripts\CvsDiffReports\automated_cvsdiffs.xml manualDiff
-D DevBuild1=$1 -D DevBuild2=$2 > D:\test2.txt
($1 and $2 are passed from the client and are tested to have the right
value at run time)
Ant script "automated_cvsdiffs.xml" receiving these parameters:
<target name="manualDiff">
<!-- TO use manual diff, set the build names
below. This targets DEV build only -->
<property name="DevBuild1"
value="$(DevBuild1)"/>
<property name="DevBuild2"
value="$(DevBuild2)"/>
<echo message="Starting CVS Difference Report
(${DevBuild1} to ${DevBuild2})"/>
Output as in test2.txt :
manualDiff:
[echo] Starting CVS Difference Report ($(DevBuild1) to
$(DevBuild2))
Script is failing here; the parameters are not getting populated. I have
tried some combinations like changing the names etc., but of no use.
This is some small syntax which I am probably not able to see here.
