    There is no built-in property for the current executing target name. Some debate on this is here.

    If you configure ant with log4j as a listener like this, the output will display each target start and end like below. Calling ant build:

    D:\apache-ant-1.8.0RC1\bin>ant -lib D:\log4j\log4j\1.2.13 -listener org.apache.tools.ant.listener.Log4jListener build
Buildfile: D:\apache-ant-1.8.0RC1\bin\build.xml
11:39:34 INFO  Build started.

build:
11:39:34 INFO  Target "build" started.
      [echo] 100
11:39:34 INFO  Updating property file: D:\abc.properties
 [propertyfile] Updating property file: D:\abc.properties
 11:39:35 INFO  Target "build" finished.
