Re: [platform-ant-dev] Setting properties programmatically

["Darin Wright" <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You have several options:

(1) Generate a properties file that your build file references
(2) Set the  properties via AntCorePreferences.setCustomProperties(...). Note that you must be careful to include all properties with this API (i.e. you will need to "get" all existing custom properties, and append to them).
(3) If you are using a launch configuration, you can set properties in the attributes of the launch config. See AntUIConstants.ATTR_ANT_PROPERTIES.

Hello, (Sorry for the cross post here and in the newsgroup)

I have some code that generates a build.xml file in the workspace.This
generated file requires some properties to be set before running, however I
cannot set those values into my script.

So I'd like to know if the code that generates the script could somehow set
the values for some properties as if they were set by the user in the ant
launcher.

Thank you
