I don't recall it to be a conscious change. Could you open a bug report for it? > Is there a way to get the old behavior back in 1.8.2? You could set the properties as system properties to the Java VM rather than arguments to Ant. I.e. you'd pass them in the ANT_OPTS environment variable rather than as command line arguments.
