Yes, I want to pass in properties to Ant, but I would like to define
these properties in a way that I don't need to define them in every
job.
Example:
Instead of doing this: "ant target
-Ddatabase-src.dir=<hudson_dir>/jobs/database/workspace/database/src"
in every build, I could define database-src.dir in for example system
configuration. Then I would need to define the path in just one place,
and pass it to ANT like this -Ddatabase-src.dir=${DATABASE_SRC_DIR}.

I know I can do this with environment variables, but in my case it is
not possible.
