goelshek,
you can use this:
ant -D<myproperty>=<myvalue> <target>
which in your case will produce
ant -Duser.property.file=foo.properties test
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="testProps" default="test" basedir=".">
<property file="${user.property.file}"/>
<target name="test">
<echo>property file name: ${user.property.file}</echo>
</target>
</project>
if in your properties file you define some properties
e.g.
prop1=foo
prop2=bar
then, you can access them in ant with
${prop1}
$[prop2}
your new target will look like this:
[...]
<target name="test">
<echo>property file name: ${user.property.file}</echo>
<echo>${prop1} and ${prop2}</echo>
</target>
[..]
hope this help

When I run ant as follows:
ant -propertyfile <property file name> <target name>
e.g.
ant -propertyfile myProps.properties test
how do I find out the the name of the properties file that the user passed
in the command line argument. So my ant script looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="ant-test" basedir=".">
<target name="test">
<!-- I want to print/access the name of the property file passed on
command line here.
Would like to do something like <echo message="${propertyfile}"/>
-->
</target>
</project>
Essentially, is there a place/property where the command line argument is
stored that can be accessed inside the script? I haven't been able to find
anything so far in my search.
Thanks.
