Ejen Reference Guide : property Node

	`<property>`

Description

Property node is an Ant specific node in Ejen: it gives a way to export a parameter in order to use it in any other Ant task.

...
<target name="build">

  <ejen>
    <source uri="class-definition.xml"/>
    <template save="{@class-name}.java" uri="java.xsl"/>
    <property name="java-file" value="{@class-name}.java"/>
  </ejen>

  <javac
    destdir="."
    includes="${java-file}"
    srcdir="."/>

</target>
...

A stylesheet named "java.xsl" is used in order to generate, based on the "class-definition.xml" input file, a java source file whose name depends on a "class-name" attribute. Then, we export this java source file name as an Ant property in order to use it later in the javac task.
