Multi-line comment in Ant build.properties file

How to add a multi-line comment in an Ant build.properties file? Is it even possible?

I have a build.properties file with properties like 

property1.value=a
property2.value=b
property3.value=c
...
...
property30.value=xyz

These properties over-ride properties in another build file. However, when I don't want to over-ride, I would like to comment out all these properties at once by using something like

/*
property1.value=a
property2.value=b
property3.value=c
...
...
property30.value=xyz
*/

instead of individually commenting out each property by using

#property1.value=a

Is this possible to achieve?

Ant Property Files are Java Property Files. Java Property Files don't support multi-line comments. See: Can we have multiline comments in a Java properties file?
