I agree with the comment that ant-contrib can be useful here.
I believe this an appropriate place to use antcall, for these reasons.
1. antcall takes a param element that can be used to specify the name
of the .properties file you want processed.
2. properties that are assigned in the target of the antcall are
"forgotten" at the completion of the antcall.
3. multiple antcalls can be executed for the different properties
files to be processed. This gives the illusion of a for-loop.
You can also use ant-contrib for a foreach task.
I try to limit the use of antcall in scripts. This appears to be a
situation where it would work well.

Hi Ben,
Did you had a chance to look into my Build.xml? I understand
what you have said about passing the .properties dynamically, this I can
do, what I don't know how to do is to run "n" times the same ANT with
different .properties each time...
Is it possible? In Eclipse for instance, I can specify the
.properties I'm passing to my Build.xml, put they are all passed in one
shot, what I'd like (if it's not clear yet) is to execute ANT as many
times as I have .properties and each time ANT take into account just one
of them.
Please let me know if it's not clear or if you need more
precisions. Thanks!!

You will have to give more information (such as the contents of your
build.xml).
Can you use a macrodef to define the target and have it take in the name
of the properties file as an argument? Then the macrodef can load the
properties with a prefix based on the argument.

Sorry I forgot to change the subject

Hello everyone,
I'm new in here and I know the basic of ANT. I use it for
compiling javacard applets. Well my problem is that I would like to know
if it is possible with ANT to run the same ANT with multiple different
.properties that I pass in my init target? Now I'm using one ANT for
each applet that I have to create, but I think it should have a more
efficient way...
Is there anyone who could help me out with this? Thanks in
advance.
