If you want to use multiple files, use for each property file a separate PropertyFile task. <propertyfile file="my-first.properties" comment"My first properties" > <entry key="akey" value="avalue" /> <entry key="formated.int" type="int" default="0013" operation="+" pattern="0000"/> <entry key="formated.date" type="date" value="now" pattern="DDD HH:mm"/> </propertyfile> <propertyfile file="my-second.properties" comment"My second properties" > <entry key="akey" value="avalue" /> <entry key="adate" type="date" value="now"/> <entry key="anint" type="int" operation="+"/> </propertyfile> An other way to write into a file might be the echo task. It allows to write the output to a file instead of stdout. Regards Thomas Christen
