Where exactly are you updating the properties? Are you echoing it or
writing it into a file?

-D option is not working !!
I gave
"cmd /c ant -buildfile automated_CvsTagDiff.xml CVSDiffReport -D
dev.build1=Build_0402_0012 dev.build2=Build_0402_0018 " in bat file And
"<property name="DevBuild1" value="$(dev.build1)"/>" in ant script.
But the result does not show values updated in properties. ;-(

Instead of hardcoding the value of the Build_0402_0012, you can actually
pass it as a commandline paramters -Ddev.build=Build_0402_0012. Then the
build file would look like this <property name="DevBuild1"
value="${dev.build}"/>
When ant runs it picks up the value given on the commandline.
For a UI. You can actually write a small perl script or cgi script to
execute ant over a browser, off course you need a web server also. Works
great.

Look at the bottom of the second link-ed page. I need to finally create
such UI where we enter filename in a text box and get results.
Meanwhile, what I am looking for is a way to build UI to connect to ant
script for providing inputs to its properties. To make it clear:
I have <property name="DevBuild1" value="Build_0402_0009"/>
<property name="DevBuild2" value="Build_0402_0012"/> in
my ant script I have to manually go inside the script and change these
properties for diff builds. I have to build a UI for it so that when I
enter build name there, it updates the property in ant script.

Use an XSLT. Add something the following to your build file....
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="./ant2html.xsl"?>
After that, just create (or find it on the net) the stylesheet and open
the build.xml file in IE or Mozilla. You should see a moderately decent
GUI
view of your build file.
See:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-antxsl/
or
http://cvs.prevayler.codehaus.org/prevayler/ant2html.xsl
Note: it is only "text/xsl" because IE needs that value and it doesn't
break Mozilla, but there is no official mime-type named "text/xsl".
BTW, if it is graphical view of the dependencies that you are looking
for, try something like vizant.
