Changed command line :
cmd /c ant -buildfile
D:\v04_E\Build_Scripts\CvsDiffReports\automated_cvsdiffs.xml manualDiff
-DDevBuild1=$1 -DDevBuild2=$2 -l D:\test2.txt
<property name="DevBuild1" value="${DevBuild1}"/>
<property name="DevBuild2" value="${DevBuild2}"/>
<echo message="Starting CVS Difference Report (${DevBuild1} to
${DevBuild2})"/>
Output :
manualDiff:
[echo] Starting CVS Difference Report ($1 to $2)

Subject: Re: passing parameters to ant
1) IIRC there _must not_ be a space betwixt "-D" and the property: i.e.
your command line should look like this:
cmd /c ant -buildfile
D:\v04_E\Build_Scripts\CvsDiffReports\automated_cvsdiffs.xml
manualDiff
-DDevBuild1=$1 -DDevBuild2=$2 > D:\test2.txt
2) You might consider using the "-l" option instead of redirecting the
output.
3) Your stanza <property name="DevBuild1"> value="$(DevBuild1)"/> is
completely wrong & totally unnecessary if you pass in the parameters
correctly.
