Easy as pie the property file gets loaded from the users home
directory. They define the libraries in a platform specific manner.
Although you could specify a platform only in the users file and
load the the appropriate shared file.
eg
--begin user file--
user.os=unix
src.dir=/path/to/src/dir
--end user file--
-- begin shared file --
<property name="settings.file"
value="${src.dir}/path/to/${user.os}/thirdparty.properties/>
<property file="${settings.file}"/>
-- end shared file--
