But in your original post you have specified the component in your batch =

Where is the difference?

<project name=3D"master">
    <target name=3D"buildComponentOne">
        <ant antfile=3D"component.xml">
            <property name=3D"component" value=3D"one"/>
        </ant>
    </target>
    <target name=3D"buildComponentTwo">
        <ant antfile=3D"component.xml">
            <property name=3D"component" value=3D"two"/>
        </ant>
    </target>
</project>

<project name=3D"component">
    <property file=3D"${component}.properties"/>
    <echo> Build one: ${one} </echo>
    <echo> Build two: ${two} </echo>
</project>

one.properties:
# Specifies which parts for component 'one' to do
one=3DJ
two=3DN

two.properties:
# Specifies which parts for component 'one' to do
one=3DJ
two=3DJ
