The reason is that ant properties may have names
that are not valid variable names in the the various
scritpting languages - so ant only makes variables
out of the properties that have a chance of being
a valid variable name in most lanuages.
for example:
$ant.working.dir is not a valid ruby global variable name.

Thanks a lot Peter !!
Didn't realise it would be that easy
In the meantime i tried with
<script language="ruby">
<![CDATA[
require 'java'
antworkingdir=$project.getProperty "ant.working.dir"
jversion=$project.getProperty "java.version"
puts antworkingdir
puts jversion
]]>
</script>
putting the dotted properties into strings, which worked too.
so i was already on the right way ;-)
But it's funny that undotted properties can be used
by ruby right away with $propertyname,
whereas dotted properties have to be called
with getProperty method.

There is no syntax for the dotted properties.
The only properties that are set in
scripts are those that have "java identifier" like
names.
Use:
<script language="ruby">
puts $project.getProperty('ant.working.dir')
</script>
