I believe that the question is about accessing this property from a java
program (compiled to a jar) that was built using ant, rather than from
an ant build script - however your link, Jan
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/properties.html#built-in-props ), is still
relevant.
Some work needs to be done to accomplish this - it's not just something
that ant will "do for you" automatically. I think that what should be
done here is that the "ant.project.name" property should be written into
the MANIFEST.MF file of the jar (via ant's jar task), and then
retrieved at runtime in the java program via
java.util.jar.Manifest.getAttributes().

ant.project.name the name of the project that is currently executing;
it is set in the name attribute of <project>.

Betreff: Ant project name description passed to Java file
during compilation or Jar process?
Dear Sirs or Madams:
I would like to automatically pull the ant project name and/or
description from my java program.
Is this somehow possible?
Much help appreciated.
Specifically, would be great to have this during either
i) javac task
or
ii) jar task
I realize that you can use java -Da=b but when my JAR is
deployed, this seems like it would be lost...
Thank you
Misha
p.s. Please reply-all
