Using the -D= command line syntax, how do you specify multiple instances of this?

I've tried these alternatives:

-Dproperty1=value1 -Dproperty2=value2

-Dproperty1=value1,property2=value2

-Dproperty1=value1;property2=value2

None of them seem to work

OK, I've answered my own question: it's not ANT's problem at all

I've got a DOS batch file with %1 %2 %3 %4 parameters, which in turn calls ANT.

It's this batch file which doesn't like the -Dproperty1=value1 syntax, and I've discovered the workaround is to do it like this:

-D"property1=value1"
