Answering my own question.
Use something like teh following::
u:properties var=props file=${jarsListFile}
/
j:set var=jarsFlist value=${props.getProperty(
'jarsFlist' )} /
Cheers,

Greetings,
I am trying to read a mutable property from a file
(I
use it within a loop). I have tried using the
ant-contrib var task with unset=true -- as shown
below. But this is not reseting the Ant property??
Does anyone know a maven way of reading properties
from a file which allows for the properties to be
true, mutable variables??
Thanks,
-- Chris

This is what I tried::
ant:echo ENTER jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
/ant:echo
ant:var name=jarsFlist unset=true /
ant:echo UNSET jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
/ant:echo
ant:property file=${jarsListFile}/
ant:echo FINAL jarsFlist= ${jarsFlist}
/ant:echo

And this is what I see::
[echo] ENTER jarsFlist=
