What do you exact mean by "parse the property in the build file"?
If you want to have access to the value of a key defined in the property file, you can load the property file via the <property file="filename"/> and assuming the file conforms to JAVA property file standards the properties will be loaded into the ANT session and you reterive the value just like any other property (via the ${key} notation).

I have a custom Ant task that populates a property in by build file. I would like to parse the property in the build file. Does anyone know how? If not, then I'll parse it in the custom Ant task.
