For example: <target name="foo" > <java classname="org.example.office.Converter" fork="yes" classpathref="test.classpath" /> <sysproperty key="location.home" value="${location.home}" /> </target> The sysproperty element allows you to pass in properties to java That's it: just give the target a name and point to the class you want to run. This way someone else can run your main() code.
