I wouldn't call it a master build.properties. I don't have many values
in my ~/build.properties. My definition of maven.repo.local and some jar

m1 is lacking in site default values and group default values but this
is definitely something address in m2.

You can always stipulate not using ~/build.properties. In m1 to simulate
something like site defaults you might want to look at the geronimo
build.

happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will
elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come
and sit softly on your shoulder ...
