[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1526?page=comments#action_12421905 ] Andrew McIntyre commented on DERBY-1526: ----------------------------------------
Rick: right, we certainly shouldn't stop sourcing the properties from user.home, but maybe we should also also source an ant.properties from the basedir as well? although, there is a workaround... Dan: Thanks, I had forgotten about that nifty Ant option, since I don't ever use it. I think we should add a note to BUILDING.txt with that suggestion. And yes, I probably should have left out the "(and should)". the bit in i.e. in my original comment clarifies what I intended to say. > 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.

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?
