Sorry for some larger delays, I'm currently spending more cycles on non-Ant stuff than I'd like to do. I cannot say for sure as I'm only one voice of ant-dev. I think the propertyset idea has some great value in the context of <ant*> (so here the answer is yes), I'm not so sure about <java> and friends, but it is up to you to convice me. > I'd appreciate comments on the embedded questions regarding > <property file="" /> or/and <propertyfile> Oh, this poor little overloaded <property> thingy. How about loadproperties? That would allow you to plug a filterreader into it that only matched a certain set of properties. > and whether the inside def or outside ref were equivalently good, or > one was better than the other. In general defining a property once should be enough IMHO, so if you want the property to be part of two different sets, an ref mechanism is needed. inside defs - on the other hand - are a lot easier to read and understand.
