Properties in Ant are immutable - once set their value cant be change. So
the
order is:
- specify on startup via -Dname=value
- order of load/definition in the buildfile
You can override that property value via nested tag of <ant>/<antcall>.
But I´m not sure what you want to do ... usually you do something like
<target name="main" depends="tar-all"/>
<target name="tar-all">
<property name="tar.name" value="tar.default"/>
<tar .../>
</target>
Then you can call
ant main -Dtar.name=anotherName.tar
--> anotherName.tar
or
ant main
--> tar.default
