Another solution would be to simply invoke Ant as
ant -Dbuild=foo -Ddist=bar
and leave out the <property> settings in the ant file itself.
If you define a property from the command line, then you
can simply begin using it in the ant file itself. You don't have
to redefine it using the <property> setting.

make that
<property name="build" value="${build.from.batch}"/>
<property name="dist" value="${dist.from.batch}"/>
and invoke Ant as
ant -Dbuild.from.batch=foo -Ddist.from.batch=bar
