There are properties you really want to pass through every level and not allow anybody to overwrite this. One example is build.compiler to specify which compiler to use in <javac>. Other examples are the build directory (again, not in every case), the project's name or similar where you want to have self contained sub builds to specify directories and names of their own but lose their identity when contained in a larger entity. What we probably want is a way to give the user more control about which properties should always take precedence and which are allowed to be overwritten. Stefan
