Dump all defined properties in Ant script

ant

I have an Ant script that imports several external scripts and property files which were not written by me. (It's a project that was automatically generated by the Android SDK, but that shouldn't matter.) I added a custom target to the script, but I'd like to do a better job of integrating it with the stuff that's already there. What I need is a comprehensive list of the global properties that are defined at a particular point in script execution. Is there any way to do that with Ant?

You can use the Echoproperties task.

A target which has a description is public because it appears when you execute

ant -projecthelp

The others are considered private because they don't appear by default.

Sonarqube ant IllegalStateException; not picking up properties file

The SonarQube Scanner for Ant does not support "sonar-project.properties" file out of the box. Is you take a look at the documentation page, you'll see that you have to provide those properties inside the Ant file:

<!-- Define the SonarQube project properties -->
<property name="sonar.projectKey" value="org.codehaus.sonar:example-java-ant" />
<property name="sonar.projectName" value="Simple Java Project analyzed with the SonarQube Ant Task" />
<property name="sonar.projectVersion" value="1.0" />
<property name="sonar.java.binaries" value="build" />
<property name="sonar.java.libraries" value="lib/*.jar" />

If you still want to use a properties file to house those settings, I guess that you could invoke the LoadProperties Ant task for that purpose. But I've never tried this so I can't guarantee this works.
