Everything that doesn't start with a "-" will be interpreted as a
target name by Ant. You want to pass in a property.

ant -buildfile build.xml execute -Dfilename=a.java
and in your buildfile, wherever you wanted to say a.java or $1 or %1
or whatever, say ${filename}. Use
<project name="dummy" default="echoparameter" basedir=".">
<target name="echoparameter">
<echo message="Parameter is ${filename}" />
</target>
</project>
as a starting point.
