How to get command line attributes with Ant

[M***@Bertelsmann.de]

Hi,
how can I read additional parameters that have been added on
comand line level within an ANT task?

How can I get the taskname that has been called
initially without taking care on dependencies of the
tasks?


Thanks in advance

You can't. Those parameter's are Ant's parameters, not the task's. Ant will
interpret them as targets. If you use the -Dproperty=value syntax on the
command line, then Ant will make these properties available to your task.
You can ask the Project object for the property's value.

You may be able to do this, I can't remember off hand, but you should ask
yourself why you need to know this? The dependencies should express
everything your build needs to know to build your project.
