Why not just put all of those properties in a .properties file and import
them in each build script?
<property file="../default.properties"/>
You can even further extend this approach by allowing the users to provide
over-rides to these as follows:
<property file="${env.USER_HOME_DIR}/default.properties"/>
<property file="../default.properties"/>

Okay, I'll bite. Why isn't this a good idea? I would like to have a way
that all common properties are set in a single build script so I don't have
to modify all my build scripts if changes
are made. Can you suggest another method?
Thanks,
Dave.
