The castor.properties file is mainly used by the Marshalling
framework...
the castorbuilder.properties is only used by the
org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator.
The properties files are obtained as a resource
(getResourceAsStream("castor.properties"))
So as long as the file exists in your working directory or somewhere in
your classpath then it will be found. When specifying your classpath,
make sure the castor jar comes after whatever directory contains your
castor.properties file, otherwise the default castor.properties file
will be loaded from the castor jar.
