ant build script pass args to java task

Question

I desperately try to pass args to my java program.

I do this:

    <java classname="com.openedi.unece.xsd.XSDFileGenerator" fork="true">
        <arg value="-version"/>
        <arg value="${version.uppercase}"/>
        <arg value="-directoryName"/>
        <arg value="${project.dir}"/>
        <arg value="-messageType"/>
        <arg value="${messageType}"/>                       
        <classpath>
            <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/EdifactConverter.jar" />
        </classpath>
    </java>

All the properties have default values set in the build script, but it does not work.

Thanks for suggestions

How does it "not work"? Do you get an error message?

Make sure you set the default values correctly. A complete ant script could look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<project basedir="." default="start" name="Test">
    <property name="version.uppercase" value="AAA"/>
    <property name="project.dir" value="PATH/TO/DIR"/>
    <property name="messageType" value="MESSAGETYPE"/>
    <property name="lib.dir" value="PATH/TO/LIB"/>
    <target name="start">
        <java classname="com.openedi.unece.xsd.XSDFileGenerator" fork="true">
            <arg value="-version"/>
            <arg value="${version.uppercase}"/>
            <arg value="-directoryName"/>
            <arg value="${project.dir}"/>
            <arg value="-messageType"/>
            <arg value="${messageType}"/>                       
            <classpath>
                <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/EdifactConverter.jar" />
            </classpath>
        </java>
    </target>
</project>
