You will need to enable nested property expansion.ant-contrib has a Property 
Helper class to expand nested properties. You will need to include this library 
in your ant class path and also specify something similar to follows 
         <propertyhelper>               <nested/>        </propertyhelper>

I am sorry that was  a typo when i posted it. That was not the problem.

My properties file- new.properties contains.

prod.eg=1
dev.eg=2

I am trying to access these properties in a echo.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
 <project name= "echo" default="echoeg"> 
 <property name="env" value="${env}"/> 
 <target name="echoeg" description=""> 
 <property file="new.properties"/> 
 <echo message="${${env}.eg}"/> -----> does not work 
 </target> 
 </project>  
>From command line i do this.
 ant -f echo.xml -Denv= prod 

I expect the echo to display 1. It does not happen. How else can i access
that value?
