Hmmm. The rules about args get nasty if you do that... Even number of args after the build.xml file means all props, odd means props till the last one where the last one is a target to execute. There's got to be a better solution. I don't want to do -Dprop=value because that's too close to the way sys props are defined. OTOH, maybe it's not so bad that we couldn't have: java -Dsysprop=value org.apache.ant.Main -Dantprop=value build.xml [target] random thoughts... .duncan
