> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sigil
> Reporter: Derek Baum
> Assignee: Derek Baum
> Priority: Minor
>
> sigil.properties files support a directive:
> -defaults: [-]path-to-defaults
> which allows for default values (such as default package import versions) to
> be inherited.
> If -defaults is not specified, '-../sigil-defaults.properties' is used to
> implicitly use defaults from parent.
> The leading - means ignore error if the file is not found.
> It would be useful if the defaults value was variable expanded against System
> properties and the environment:
> -defaults: ${DEFAULTS_DIR:-../common}/sigil-defaults.properties
> sigil already contains the necessary property variable expansion code.
> however, property variable expansion is NOT globally applied to all values in
> sigil.properties, as the eclipse plugin is not aware of variable expansion,
> so when it updates sigil.properties all variables would have their expanded
> value.
> This is not a problem with -defaults, as the eclipse plugin is not aware of
> this value.
