need ANT help

[Daniil Sosonkin]

Hi,
I'm trying to write an ANT build.xml and having sort of a problem. I have several related targets which all do the same basic actions which only differ depending on few paramers. For example, I have a target that copies files from dir1 to target1 and creates application1.jar then I have a target that does the same only it copies files from dir2 to target1 and creates application2.jar and so on etc. To identify which application to build and where to copy files from I use <property name="title" value="1"/> or value="2"/> etc...
I have about 10 or so of those targets. What I wanted to do is create one target which will compile all those sequentially. I thought of creating a blank target which depends on all those but I discovered that once you set property value, you can't change it. Which is a problem. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you,
Daniil

You could look into using <antcall> and give parameters to that.
