within JUnit

Just as a teaser, here's how I do it:

    <junitx ...>
      <classpath refid="classpath" />

      ...

      <syspropertyset>
        <propertyref prefix="testall." />
        <propertyref prefix="runtime-" />
        <mapper type="regexp" from="runtime-(.*)" to="\1" />
      </syspropertyset>

    </junitx>


<junitx> simply extends <junit> to add the <syspropertyset> data type, which
is a little experiment I coded. The 3 classes in questions are included in
the zip. (Provided without any warranties; use this code at your own risk).

Note that this new feature was discussed earlier on the Ant forums, and I
just hacked at it. The code is neither well tested nor production quality,
but works for the limited use I make of it. --DD

Yes.

If you run Ant like this:

ant -Dmyprop1=value1 -Dmyprop2=value2

Define your junit target like this:

<junit
	printsummary="yes"
	dir="${classes.dir}">
	<sysproperty key="prop1" value="${myprop1}"/>
	<sysproperty key="prop2" value="${myprop2}"/>
</junit>

Then in your testcases you can do System.getProperty("prop1");
