or don't use the top level file to build projects that are largely
independent ? I don't ;)
I don't think you should be running the hsql build from the base directory
but from in the hsql directory.
I was thinking about splitting the cornerstone build.xml into files. One just
built cornerstone while the other would be a controller for all the projects
build files. So if you wanted to rebuild all the projects (ftpserver, db,
hsql, cornerstone, jesktop, etc) then you would do something like
ant -f all.xml clean main
or similar. Thoughts?

Yep - don't use "value" to define the location of tools dir but instead do
something like
<property name="tools.dir" location="blah"/>
This will resolve the tools directory completely. On my box the tools.dir
property would evaluate to
/opt/avalon/jakarta-avalon/tools
rather than just
../jakarta-avalon/tools
