I'm not an Ant committer, but I'm enthusiastically monitoring this
conversation and I'm pretty involved in Ant (I run the jGuru FAQ for Ant,
written an article about it, and frequently submit patches and enhancement
requests).
I'm not quite sure what is being suggested here. tmp.dir is something
defined in the build.xml being passed around here, and the design of
these standards was for it to be overridden by the first of these 4
properties files:
<property file="build.properties"/>
<property file=".ant.properties"/>
<property file="${user.home}/.ant.properties"/>
<property file="default.properties"/>
What is desired from Ant on this issue?
I thought the consensus was build.properties rather than ant.properties -
I'll have to go back and check the archives. I prefer build.properties
since it matches build.xml.
Has this standardization documentation been committed to Jakarta's CVS
somewhere? If so, where?
