Thanks for the reply Erik.
In a nutshell, you grasped what it is I'm trying to do, as in:
>If you're just trying to load a different properties
>file for a machine, do this:
>
><property file="${machine.name}.properties"/>
>where machine.name is a property representing your machine name
>(perhaps from the environment COMPUTERNAME or HOSTNAME).
However, what I'd also said is:

>instead of xml property files, I really wanted to get away from that)?
I had already been using text property files for a while to do exactly
this, but I now want to use xml files for the same sort of thing with the
additional flexibility that xml provides. I would be able to do exactly the
same if it weren't for the fact that <property file=> and <xmlproperty file
=> behave differently.
