That is fine, but since the name of the property is
left to the buildfile writer, for every file I will
need to go and look and understand the file and then
set my environment appropriatelly for that buildfile.
The advantage I see with magic properties is
consistency we just need to set which javac to use one
in our defaults and it will be used by all our
buildfiles everywere. I think that is really nice.
I also think we should provide the attribute, even for
<javac> for those cases in which a buildfile writer
wants tighter control of the build.
But in general, generic "magic" properties should not
need to be a bad thing, but we have never formalize
then and document them properly, IMHO.
