ant -Dantcontrib.jar=path/to/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar
-Dagent.list="node1,node2" -Dnode1.description=ServerA
-Dnode2.description=AnotherServer



<project default="startAgents" xmlns:antcontrib="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">

    <taskdef uri="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib"
             resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"
             classpath="${antcontrib.jar}"/>
             

    <macrodef name="executeAgent">
        <attribute name="agent"/>
        <attribute name="description"/>
        <sequential>
            <echo>starting Agent @{agent}: @{description}</echo>
        </sequential>
    </macrodef>
    
    
    <target name="startAgents">
        <antcontrib:for list="${agent.list}" delimiter="," param="agent">
            <sequential>
