Passing property file names as Parameter value to ANT inside Eclipse

Currently in eclipse we directly execute ant script by right clicking on them RUn as> ant Build. Also we have one build properties . but as the complexity of our project has grown is there a way we can use different proper files like Buildfile_test.properties , buildfile_QA.properties and pass the name when running ant from within eclipse without having to modify the build.xml ever time?

You can define an argument with the property file name to the build in the 'Arguments' section of the Run > External Tools > External Tools Configuration for your Ant Build. Something like:

-Dproperties=Buildfile_test.properties

You use this in your build.xml like this:

<property file="${properties}"/>
