When you say runtime, what do you mean - are you invoking ant from another program? - like a java application.
If yes - you can use the Project class in Ant, refer api and use setProperty method. If no - then I don't understand what you mean by runtime - just initialize the property in the build xml file. <property name="" value=""/> -t -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 12:07 PM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: RE: how to change the property value at run time Thanks a lot.
