ant based mojo

[EJ Ciramella]

In relation to my plugin questions below, I've moved along a bit further
-
 
I'm now able to sync via an ant based plugin, but when I package up a
plugin with things like ${p4.username}, how can I pass this stuff on to
the plugin successfully?
 
I've stashed these values inside my settings.xml file
(<p4.username>myusername</p4.username>).
 
I've tried both:
 
    <configuration>
     <p4.username>${p4.username</p4.username>
    </configuration>
 
And:
 
    <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
     <property>
           <name>p4.username</name>
           <value>${p4.username}</value>
     </property>
     </systemProperties>
     </configuration>
 
But neither work and result in:
 
sync:
     [echo] about to sync //depot/up-svcs/lty/proj/LTY-P000039/...
   [p4sync] error: Access for user '${p4.username}' has not been enabled
by 'p4 protect'.
 
Any other suggestions?
