ant build script pass args to java task -

i desperately try pass args java program.

i 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 properties have default values set in build script, not work.

thanks suggestions

make sure set default values correctly. complete ant script 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>
