Hi Susanne,

Thanks for the reply. If I ever knew that about Ant, I had
forgotten it.
In any case, the bit that surprised me was that all the Resources/
Properties files were being read by Ant at build-time at all. I
suppose I had always assumed they were strictly run-time properties,
but here they are being read at build-time as well? If that's
really what I was seeing, maybe I'm just the only person on the list
surprised by it.
I know that Wonder does this at runtime. I am surprised that Ant/
WOLips is read them. But too lazy to test it. :-)

Am I just imagining it, or are the properties in the framework's
Resources/ Properties file being imported by Ant as build
properties, and are they overriding the definitions in the app's
build.properties?
So the second part of that question is answered by Susanne: yes,
because with Ant it's "first definition wins".
