Nice solution :)

Often there are a set of properties you might use with a given
environment. I suggest creating a properties file for each environment
like so...
localhost.properties
=====================
ip.address=100.10.0.48
deploy.path=/usr/local/tomcat/webapps
remote.user=tomcat
Then in your build.xml you would load the properties file with...
<property file="${env}.properties"/>
And run ant by passing in the env property...
ant -Denv=localhost target
You can also include some error checking targets/tasks for sanity...
<fail unless="env">You must specify the env property when you run
ant.</fail>
<available property="env.prop.file.exists" file="${env}.properties"/>
<fail unless="env.prop.file.exists">Cannot find ${env}.properties
file.</fail>
...or...
<target name="get.env" unless="env">
<input defaultvalue="localhost" message="What environment?"/>
<available property="env.prop.file.exists" file="${env}.properties"/>
<fail unless="env.prop.file.exists">Cannot find ${env}.properties
file.</fail>
</target>

Subject: Can we pass parameter to Ant target?
Hi!
Is it possible to pass parameters/arguments to a Ant target?
For an example,
ant deploy localhost
where we specify the deployment server as a parameter when
invoking the "deploy" target. The "localhost" could be
another property defined in the build file,
<property name="localhost" value="100.10.0.48"/>
