But in your original post you have specified the component in your batch file.

Where is the difference?
<project name="master">
<target name="buildComponentOne">
<ant antfile="component.xml">
<property name="component" value="one"/>
</ant>
</target>
<target name="buildComponentTwo">
<ant antfile="component.xml">
<property name="component" value="two"/>
</ant>
</target>
</project>
<project name="component">
<property file="${component}.properties"/>
<echo> Build one: ${one} </echo>
<echo> Build two: ${two} </echo>
</project>
one.properties:
# Specifies which parts for component 'one' to do
one=J
two=N
two.properties:
# Specifies which parts for component 'one' to do
one=J
two=J
