I think you want this:
<property name="env" value="${env}"/>
You ommitted the $ sign...

I have a properties file (new.properties) which contains key value pairs as

file echo.xml by loading the property file in the script.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name= "echo" default="echoeg">
<property name="env" value="{env}"/>
<target name="echoeg" description="">

<echo message="${${env}.executiongroups}"/> -----> does not work
</target>
</project>
ant -f echo.xml -Denv prod
Could anyone tell me what is the correct syntax to access the property?
