Its just asking for errors where only one of the “build.config”’s is changed. Is there a good reason that the following is deprecated?
<property name="build.config" value="Bananafanafofana" overwrite="false" />
James,
I'm not sure why the first would be dangerous but the second not... they are functionally identical!
That's actually why the 'overwrite' attribute has been deprecated... it is a widely misunderstood property, and the unless test is considered much more explicit in its intent. That is, set this property unless it's already set. A default value, if you will.
