Hello everyone,

How to make ant read command line input ?

Becoz in my project Iam writing ant buildfile
for obfuscation.

Since I dont know how to use command line
input, I do something like this

############ant build file#############
<target name="obfuscate" depends="init" description="">
  <taskdef name="Retroguard" classname="Obfuscation"/>
  <Retroguard message="The files are obfuscated"/>
 </target>

#### java file ###### In execute() method 
System.out.println("Enter file name to be obfuscated. :");
DataInputStream file = new DataInputStream(System.in);
String fileName = file.readLine();   
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java RetroGuard "+fileName+
                " Obfuscatedefs.jar script.rgs elixir.log");
####################################

How to avoid this java file and make the xml file itself
do this task.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.C
