Another solution would be to simply invoke Ant as

ant -Dbuild=3Dfoo -Ddist=3Dbar

and leave out the <property> settings in the ant file itself.
If you define a property from the command line, then you
can simply begin using it in the ant file itself.  You don't have
to redefine it using the <property> setting.

make that=20

<property name=3D"build" value=3D"${build.from.batch}"/>
<property name=3D"dist"  value=3D"${dist.from.batch}"/>

and invoke Ant as=20

ant -Dbuild.from.batch=3Dfoo -Ddist.from.batch=3Dbar
