it answers your questions. --- Shawn Castrianni -----Original Message----- From: Scot P. Floess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 12:56 PM To: Shawn Castrianni Cc: Ant Users List Subject: RE: calling ant with parameters 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...
