It looks like the issue boils down to difference in habits. The "java types" prefer property files, because it saves them from working with "incomprehensible" environment variables and so on. But then, I am "unix type", and having correctly defined environment is essential to me. I just keep my .profile file up-to-date, and don't care about setting it in a new window. It gets configured automatically. And I hate property files, because they cannot be configured in one central place, and I have to keep copying them over and over, and quickly get lost in a multitude of unsynchronized copies. Just another case of "computing" cultural differences. Anyway, I will lowly follow what the majority will decide as appropriate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
