ant-dev mailing list archives

Hello all:
 
I browsed the archives but didn't find a complete answer of the following:
 
1) Can Ant receive parameters from its caller?
 
For example, suppose I have a list of names and I want to invoke the same
set of tasks for each name.  I would want to ave one Ant process call
another one, I would want to call it n times (where n is the number of
names) and pass in as a parameter the name in question.
 
Any suggestions / thoughts / feedbacks on this?
 
Thank you!
 
Jean
