according to the manual, you can pass a nested <property> to the subant
task. You could use this to propagate your own build name property down
the tree.
<project name="main" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="main">
<echo>Main project name is ${ant.project.name}</echo>
<subant antfile="sub.xml" target="sub" buildpath="${basedir}">
<property name="my.project.name"
value="${ant.project.name}"/>
</subant>
</target>
</project>
<project name="sub" default="sub">
<target name="sub">
<echo>Sub project name is ${ant.project.name}</echo>
<echo>Sub project (my) name is ${my.project.name}</echo>
</target>
</project>
