But that wouldn't really be the same as your proposed if/unless addition,
would it? If it's just passing the named property, then it's not allowing
for it to take on a new value, as it did in your if/unless example, where
you explicitly set the value to "orange". Also, you should keep in mind,
when dealing with this stuff, that there's the whole
anything-defined-on-the-command-line thing...
If you are going to try and do an <inheritproperty> element, you may want
to consider adding a <propertyset> datatype, so you wouldn't have to list
all the same properties to pass every time.
In the meantime, you can always just fall back on the <if> task:
<target name="juice">
<if>
<isset property="juice"/>
<then>
<ant antfile="blend.xml" target="blendit" inheritall="false">
<property name="juice" value="orange"/>
</ant>
</then>
<else>
<ant antfile="blend.xml" target="blendit" inheritall="false"/>
</else>
</if>
</target>
A bit long-winded, but it does get you there.
