Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-1526:
----------------------------------------------
I build multiple versions of derby by not having an ant.properties file in
user.home, but instead at the top of each svn tree.
I then have a script to build that uses the -propertyfile argument of ant to
point to the correct ant.properties file.
> build should be able to locate the Java runtime libraries from properties not
> sourced from ${user.home}, but inside the current subversion checkout.

> Key: DERBY-1526
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1526
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.2.0.0
> Reporter: Ray Kiddy
> Priority: Minor
>
> I think it is problemmatic that the Derby build process makes use of, for
> example, ${user.home}/ant.properties.
> I would actually like to be able to build multiple versions of Derby. I also
> cannot see what is gained by relying on the user's home directory in this
> manner. All of this information could be put into a configuration that can be
> kept in the project directory. That would work just fine.
> By the way, I am looking at the top-of-tree code. How do I refer to that in
> the "Affects Version" box above? This version is 422938.
