*whew* what a bunch of trouble I stirred up. I apologize folks. I'm a firm believer in getting Ant usage more standardized, its just there is a lot of competing ways of such "standardization". Thank you Jon for enlightening me a bit into your reasons - it has been helpful for my own views. I actually like the way you're spelling things out - what I don't like is that it takes two files to do so and risks a user modifying default.properties (because users don't read documentation anyway, even if it is right at the top of the file they are editing!). As an Ant committer, I'm 'committed' to making our build file world a happier place.
