How do I pass parameters from Jenkins to Ant scripts?

Well the integration of any CI tool with ANT is fairly common in the industry. The Requirement of this technique is very important because it will set a particular value in your ANT build file without doing hardcoded you can pass whatever value on the run time and your ANT build file will stay remain as it is. Jenkins offers a simple way to set up a continuous integration or continuous delivery (CI/CD) environment for almost any combination of languages and source code repositories using pipelines, as well as automating other routine development tasks.

In many aspects, Ant is very similar to Make, and it’s simple enough so anyone can start using it without any particular prerequisites.

Now let’s say you in the above ant build you want this fork value to be false or true according to your scenario and you don’t want to hardcode so for this we can pass this value on our run time from Jenkins.
