How to over-write the property in Ant?

Question

Is there a way to re-assign the value for the Ant property task? Or is there another task available for that purpose?

Answer 1

Since Ant 1.8, you can use the "local" task to change the value of a property within a target. Note that this does NOT change the value of the global property with the same name but it is a way to solve some problems.
