So, I am curious...

How would one deliniate the name of the target(s) vs the name of params to hand in?

Granted the -Dname=value can be somewhat verbose...

Is this $0 $1 notation somehow more obvious? I haven't looked at it...so just asking "off the cuff."

So, I tend to agree as well...it'd be nice to hand in params...just trying to reconcile in my mind how to express this cleanly on the command line to differentiate between params vs target names...

I would love this feature too.  It would allow us an easy way to launch any 
java class with application arguments by having a generic launchClass target 
that takes in the name of the class to launch and any app arguments.

Dominique Devienne developed a mechanism for this with $0, $1, etc..  
properties and submitted the source code to ANT.  It is still sitting there as 
a request for ANT to checkin but no one voted on it.

Subject: calling ant with parameters

I would like to set a parameter to a ant. Something like this from command-line 
-

ANT compile debug
ANT compile release

or

ANT testProducts full
ANT testProducts debugOnly

the target Compile will "catch" the first parameter and will act as needed.

how can I make this to work? how can I call an ANT target with parameters?

Thanks,
   Guy.
