[XDoclet-JIRA] Commented: (XDT-1681) specify the @tag attribute value at runtime

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1681?page=comments#action_17770 ] 

Andrew Stevens commented on XDT-1681:
-------------------------------------

I haven't actually tested it works in this particular case, but so far as I can remember the @tag values are supposed to support Ant property substitution.  So you should be able to use something like
@msg.message language="${locale.setting.property}"
and when you run XDoclet it should use the value from the Ant property (which should already be defined before reaching the doclet task).

See the @jboss.create-table boxout on http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/xdoclet/using.html for another example.

> i want to create a locale specific property file using xdoclet's externalizer. currently it generates the properties file with file name using locale when language is specified in @msg.message language="FR" attribute. so it generates the file as 
> XXX_FR.properties. But i cant hardcode the langauage. the language has to be read from some other configuration file at runtime when the build process is run.
> please let me know any possible approach to achieve my goal of setting language value at runtime.
> thanks in advance
