The build.properties file that comes with the TDK should be documented
thoroughly. Each property should be explained. Patches are always

You got the above settings right... see the Torque documentation for a
better explanation of what they all mean:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/torque/properties-reference.html
They all get transmogrified during the build process. You can see how
this is done in the default.properties file inside the Torque jar.

If you could document what you do as you go it would be much
appreciated. Quinton has documented the migration process a bit here:
http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=12729
Between all of us we should be able to come up with a pretty good
Migration Howto.
