you sure? That convention was birthed when commons was created if I am not
mistaken. Besides commons I haven't really seen it used elsewhere. Most
projects I know still use ant.properties because thats the way that the ant
build file works (and it's also the way the ant-dev used to always recomend).

Perhaps. However I guess I don't see that as desirable ;) If I have 3 build
files in a directory that would mean I could potentially have 3 different
property files all containing the same thing. eek ! ;)
