Depends on your requirement .....
1. Load (additionally) different sets if resources are available
<available property="pf1" value="propfile-1.properties" file="file-to-test-1"/>
<property name="pf1" value="file-does-not-exist"/>
<property file="${pf1}"/>
<available property="pf2" value="propfile-2.properties" file="file-to-test-2"/>
<property name="pf2" value="file-does-not-exist"/>
<property file="${pf2}"/>
...
"file-does-not-exist" is an empty properties file, so loading that doesnt throw
an exception.
Could be made easier....
<macrodef name="loadprops">
<attribute name="file"/>
<attribute name="propfile"/>
<sequential>
<available property="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="@{propfile}"
file="@{file}"/>
<property name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="file-does-not-exist"/>
<property file="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<loadprops file="file-to-test-1" propfile="propfile-1.properties"/>
<loadprops file="file-to-test-2" propfile="propfile-2.properties"/>
2. Load different sets according to a properties value
<input property="whichPFile" validargs="dev,test,life"/>
<property file="${whichPFile}.properties"/>
Just my quick thoughts (so no syntax checks .... ;-)
