We understand that your properties file is in no way related to you Ant tasks.
However, the way to get the data out of is it using Ant tasks, namely the
<property> task.
This is explained all very clearly in the Ant manual:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html
See Ant Tasks->Core Tasks->Property
None the less here is a simple Ant example:
<!-- load my properties file -->
<property file="file.properties" />
<!-- access the property I need -->
<clientgen wsdl="${PROVISIONING_SERVICE_WSDL_URL}" />
<!-- alternative method -->
<property name="wsdl.url" value="${PROVISIONING_SERVICE_WSDL_URL}" />
<clientgen wsdl="${wsdl.url}" />
