The sample should still be ant.properties.sample. Making it invisible by
prefixing it with '.' is not helpful.
I'd even say that the only one that should be a dot file is the one in ~. I
suspect that one wouldn't be used much, anyway, though. Given that most
people will have more than one set of properties to manage. The analogy
would be ~/.profile and /etc/profile.
More effective, I think, would be naming the property file based on the
project. That way commons, ant, tomcat, velocity and so on could coexist
more easily.
