I have a single JBoss server at the university. Some of my project team works via ssh on that server, some of them work on their home system with their own JBoss server, some have only localhost and some have a domain name ... I'm probably going to end up with several other combinations.
I'm trying to run this out of cvs as well. I need to give each member a build.properties in each project and sub-project, that doesn't make it to the cvs repository of course ... it can get to be a huge mess. And I'm dealing with students, they often have a unique way of *ing everything up with breathtaking stupidty If I had more certain control over the way properties are set I would be happier. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Porter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Maven Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 2:59 PM Subject: RE: maven vs ant property settings > Where were you trying to use the properties?
