Hi Alex,

I'm not having problems, really :-).

I was just curious whether I could use the name of the target as given
on the command line in the script as a means of influencing the script
execution.

OK, an example.  I have one source, and three different build targets
"cdrom", "intranet", "internet".  The differences between the targets
are relatively minimal, for example: "disable any logs" for the cdrom
target (the application runs from cdrom), or "display general
conditions" unless the target is intranet, etc.

Currently I have three build files (yes, they are called like this :-))
- cdrom.build
- intranet.build
- internet.build

which take care of the above-mentioned specifics.  if possible, I'd
like to have one generic.build file where I just supply the platform
target, like this
ant -f generic.build {cdrom|intranet|internet}

inside the script a property will get assigned the target's value, and
I can then use this property to decide whether or not I want to
execute the "enable-log-mechanism" and "disable-general-conditions",
etc.

mmh, if there are better ways I'm open for them.  thanks for your reply.
