Hi Barry, Thanks for the response.
Since it's not a ANT releated property, I done think providing
an option of -DPROP_VALUE from cmd prompt would work.
Also, I cant afford to have user intervention is providing the value of
the Property at runtime..
The Variable is actually defined inside a java file, and it needs to be
manipulated by ANT.
Let me know if i have not made myself clear enough.

There are several ways to accomplish this depending on your workflow and
process requirements.
You could do this with the -D<property>=<value> command parameter
(passing the runtime value in from the ant commandline). Another option
is to use the <input> element to prompt the user for a dynamic value.
For example:
<input message="enter the value for X now"
addproperty="yourPropertyName" default="defaultValue" />

Subject: Overwrite Property at runtime
Hi Experts,
I need to assign value of property at run time in ANT .
This property variable is defined inside a Java file which has to be set
during run time. Its NOT related to Ant properties.
I tried using <sysproperty key="VARIABLE" value="VALUE" /> but it didn't
help.
For eg
<junit fork="yes" maxmemory="1024m" forkmode="perBatch"
haltonfailure="yes">
<sysproperty key="VARIABLE" value="VALUE" />
<classpath refid="tests.path" />
<formatter type="plain" />
<batchtest fork="yes"
todir="path/to/reports">
<fileset dir="/test/cases">
<include
name="**/*TestCase.java" />
<exclude
name="**/*TestSuite.java" />
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
Can someone please help with this ?
Thanks,
Sumit
