Hi,

I am trying to create a common ant build xml file which can be called by other build XMLs.

Is there a means to pass parameters which can be set as properties into the called script using the parent XML.

As of now I only know of include and import features in ant which allow to allow inclusion of scriplets/complete build files respectively but none of them allow passing of parameters.

Correct me if I am wrong or suggest me another way of achieving the same.

Thanks
Akshat

Are you using the 'ant' task to make the call to the sub-builds? Read the docs about how properties are sent through to the child and/or how nested 'property' elements can specify that sort of thing. If you aren't using the 'ant' task, look into it and/or tell us how you're running the sub-build in the first place.
