So, how do I write a buildfile that can deploy JSPs in
weblogic or websphere or jboss etc etc without needing
to change the buildfile?
Magic-properties are the equivalent in ANT to
environment variables. They are usefull when the you
want different users to execute the same buildfile in
different execution environements.
Just with OS environemnet variables, what we need is a
more consistent naming convension and to spell them
out clearly in the documentation (xdoclet hint hint).
