It would break a lot of people's systems. Even if they are ignorant and
unenlightened people declining to follow the One True Path ;P So it
deserves a [vote]. Which will generate lots of heat, little light, and
probably a few -1's. To avoid that, here's a possible technical
compromise:
The ordering problem is unsolvable; either way, it screws one group of
users. One solution is to adopt a two-pass system. A ~/pre.properties
for things like ${lib.repo}, and a ~/post.properties for declaring
properties not overridden by ./build.properties. You symlink
~/build.properties to ~/pre.properties, I'll symlink it to
~/post.properties.
<property file="${user.home}/pre.properties" />
<property file="build.properties" />
<property file="project.properties" />
<property file="${user.home}/post.properties" />
Does it sound workable?
