How do I set individual proper

How to decide when an item of your property $enableproperties is to be set to false or true ?
Some criteria missin..
From my understanding of your question you might try something like that, my solution is based on Ant plugin Flaka

starting with ant -f demo.xml -Denableproperties=abc#t,def#t,ghi,jkl#t,mno
means all items in the list that should be set to true in your script have to be propertyname#t
others will be set to false

    
      #{split(p, '#')[0]} := #{split(p, '#')[1] == 't' ? 'true' : 'false'}
    

    
$${abc} = ${abc}
$${def} = ${def}
$${ghi} = ${ghi}
$${jkl} = ${jkl}
$${mno} = ${mno}
    

output

 [echo] ${abc} = true
 [echo] ${def} = true
 [echo] ${ghi} = false
 [echo] ${jkl} = true
 [echo] ${mno} = false
