I agree that making the project distributions and directories have consistent
names
is a good goal.
However, I don't see how that applies to the last point about changing Ant
build.xml
properties to not have the project name in them.
It makes it much easier to distinguish all of these properties when you are
working
with multiple projects if they contain the project name, such as "ant.home" and
"tomcat.home" rather than two properties both called "home".
Please clarify if that isn't what you meant.
