Any properties set on the command line are always set first before any task is run in ant.
Go ahead and set PW90 in a property to its default value. Anytime you use -DPW90="..." on the command line it will be set first and your default variable will not override it. -----Original Message----- From: Chun Ji [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 11:25 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: property value setting I have a build.xml file in which there is a property value "PW90". And this value is initialized through the command line, such as: ant -f build.xml -DPW90="...". However, I just realize that 95% of time, the value is same. So I am just wondering if I could set a default value for this "PW90" inside the build.xml. Only when "-DPW90=.." is specified on the command line, then it will be overwritten by the input value. I am using ant 1.7 on Linux box. Thanks for the tips.
