Scenario: I have a properties file Name: abc.properties Contents: Key1:value1 A target in my build is 1. <target name="my_target" > 2. <input 3. message="please provide the key to retrieve" 4. addproperty="key.name" 5. /> 6. <property resource="abc.properties" /> 7. <echo message="${ ${key.name} } " /> 8. </target> Problem: User is asked to input a key value at line 2.The value is used as property 'key.name' in 'my_target' . say user inputs 'key1' After loading the properties file 'abc.properties' (line 6) I want to 'echo' ' value1' (value for key1 in abc.properties). Line 7 in my_target does not give me the expected results. Is there any other way i can acheieve my objective?
