Thanks Emmanuel - prompt reply as ever! I'm planning to have 2 instances of Continuum running: one on linux, one on windows so I can be sure my tests work on both platforms. Given the property in question is an absolute file path the project.properties approach won't work, but the command line idea should do nicely.

For developers, the value define in their build.properties will override the value in project.properties. An other solution would be to add the property on the m1 command line via the build definition of your project.
