When you say runtime, what do you mean - are you invoking ant from =
another program? - like a java application.

If yes - you can use the Project class in Ant, refer api and use =
setProperty method.

If no - then I don't understand what you mean by runtime - just =
initialize the property in the build xml file.

<property name=3D"" value=3D""/>

Thanks a lot. I know that JAVA_HOME is not the ANT - property.
I just wanted to check whether can we change the property value at run =
time.

Can we have detail list of different properties that ANT supports.??


Regards,
Irfan

Thats just the special thing about ANT-properties: You can not change =
them, for good reasons.

But JAVA_HOME does not look like an Ant-property. What do you want to =
do?
