But the point of contention here is the properties specified in ${basedir1}/project.properties and ${basedir2}/build.properties where ${basedir1} is the project root of the sub project and ${basedir2} is the root of the multiproject project root. My pic was that ${basedir2}/build.properties should override the properties mentioned in earlier file.
