I asked a while back but no one was able to come up with any other reason
other than
1. generic targets
2. work around ant "features"/bugs
(1) will allow you to resue same target but pass in different properties each
time. Effectively treating the target as a method. This will probably go away
in Ant2.
(2) exists to work around some "features" in ant (Namely prpoerties being
immutable).
Cheers,
