Look at the property class in the Ant API. There is a setRefId method that might do what you're talking about.

Hi, Is there a way to programmatically (i.e. using the API) set the id of a property in Ant, so I can reference it via refid later on? ( Similar to "Java Development with Ant" first edition pp 80-81 but in code ) <property name="param" value="changes" /> <property name="changes" value="What I want" id="changes.prop" /> <property name="selector" value="${param}" /> <property name="Message" refid="${selector}.prop"/> <echo message="Message = ${Message}"/> Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- -------------- This message is private and confidential.
