Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-1526:
--------------------------------------
${user.home}/ant.properties also holds configuration variables needed to run
the ant-based compatibility tests. I don't have strong religion about where we
should keep user-specific environment variables. However, I'd like to keep
these variables in one place and not have to clone them. Here's what I like
about the current arrangement: all ant-based scripts look for environment
variables in a canonical place. As long as we preserve that behavior, I'm happy.
> build should be able to locate the Java runtime libraries from properties not
> sourced from ${user.home}, but inside the current subversion checkout.

> Key: DERBY-1526
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1526
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.2.0.0
> Reporter: Ray Kiddy
> Priority: Minor
>
> I think it is problemmatic that the Derby build process makes use of, for
> example, ${user.home}/ant.properties.
> I would actually like to be able to build multiple versions of Derby. I also
> cannot see what is gained by relying on the user's home directory in this
> manner. All of this information could be put into a configuration that can be
> kept in the project directory. That would work just fine.
> By the way, I am looking at the top-of-tree code. How do I refer to that in
> the "Affects Version" box above? This version is 422938.
> thanx - ray
