A property can be set from the command line, like this :
ant -Dmy.args="-a -b -c"

Then it can be used in the <java> task :
<java ...>
  <arg line="${my.args}"/>
</java>

If the command line format is important to you (because for example it's
what your users are going to type) the most simple solution that comes
to mind is to write a small script that formats its command line
parameters into an call ant with a -D option.


Thank you that cleared up a lot!
