If you use <ant> Task or <antcall> you can run the target with different
content of a property.
E.g.
<antcall target="your.target" inheritall="false">
<param name="your.property" value="value1" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="your.target" inheritall="false">
<param name="your.property" value="value2" />
</antcall>
I even use this in <for> loops made with antcontrb.

Betreff: Re: Calling a cmd batch file from Ant
The reason I'm not using ant is that :-
1. My main build.xml script calls the component.xml script numerous times.
2. Each time the component.xml script is called, the variable 'component'
needs to be set to something different.
3. Component.xml is generic therefore don't want to hard code anything
variables in 4. Once variable set, can't be changed.
Honestly, there is some underlying logic behind all of this.
