At this point I have to ask that you do a little trial and error on your own. You tell me, what does it return you? And how does that jive with the XML file? Dig into Ant's source code - its more approachable than you might think. Have a look at the Javadocs. Use an IDE(A!) that lets you navigate source code like you're kayaking down a big ol' whitewater river effortlessly. The answers are right before you, just have a peek. (no offense intended here - I'm happy to share info, but the biggest gift I can give is how to find that info yourself)
In response to the 2nd email you sent me when I use the .getProject().getName() where does that info come from. Does it come from the .xml file where i did give the project the name. Maybe if I understood that I could understand how the class and the .xml file works. thanks in advance for all your help.
I'm not sure what info you're fishing for here - getProperty("ant.project.name") will give you the project name, and there really isn't much need to get anything from the Project object itself.

p.s. But yes, getName() returns the project name too. getDescription returns the project <description> as well, which is not available as an Ant property.
