The best way is probably via the indirection of a file - something like ant --preferences=general.prefs --preferences=logging.prefs ... Another option would be nested properties that would be expanded to user preferences like javac.debug expands to the debug attribute, javac.include.name to the name attribute of an include child of javac and so on. This is a different discussion that we need to have at some point, but right now I'm fully content with a single flame war at a time on this list. Stefan
