I have been through this a bazillion times now on other lists...

Essentially, I equate a build.xml to a ./configure. You wouldn't expect
someone to cat/more/edit/pico/emacs a ./configure script in order to figure
out the defaults, now would you? Why would you expect anyone to look inside
a build.xml? With a ./configure, people will ./configure --help to figure
out the defaults.

If you want to print the defaults, then we should have a <target> that
prints out the defaults in a nice format from the default.properties. Just
like ./configure --help.

Also, to you they are easier to read in the build.xml...to me, they aren't.
To me, it is easier to read in the default.properties...to someone else, it
may be another way...
