How do you run the program ? Don't you use the <java> task ? It accepts nested <arg> parameters for what you are looking for. http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/java.html
I do use the <java> task. But I do not want the parameters to be constant but I want to pass them down from the actual command line when I run the "run" task. So I want to do something like ant run -a -b -c which should result in "-a -b -c" to be passed to the <java> task. Next time I want to do ant run -x a 12 23 and now "-a a 12 23" should be used by the java task. The point is that I want to use ant to use the "infrastructure" for setting up the actual run command but I want the flexibility of passing parameters to the program as if I would directly call it from the command line using "java -cp ..... classname <all the args>"
