I'm also finding it difficult.

A lot of our dependencies are within Excalibur. Eg, all/ now depends on
instrument, concurrent and collections. How about we:

 - Hardcode correct defaults (../*/build/lib/whatever.jar) in the
   build.xml files. Or project.properties files, to follow the Turbine
   convention.
 - Write a build.xml target which builds dependent projects. So running
   'ant' in all/ will also build it's dependencies.
 - Add <echo> messages to clearly indicate what's going on. Pete, at one
   stage this mucked up your emacs regexes or something.. are you using
   IDEA permanently now?;)

If we did that, then in many cases, copying ant.properties wouldn't be
necessary.
