This is really more of an ant question but I couldn't find the
answer by google or at the ant site, so I am hoping someone who builds
derby will know the answer.
I have a shared home directory on diffferent machines but want to
specify a different ant.properties on the different machines to
reflect machine specific locations. Is there a way I can override the
default ant.properties location and use a different ant.properties
file for my build?
Thanks

Hi Kathey,
I think that you will get what you want if you invoke ant like this:
ant -propertyfile ${mypropertyfile} ...
I haven't tried this. I don't know whether that property file takes
precedence over ${user.home}/ant.properties. Apparently, -D properties
take precedence over the -propertyfile properties. Just to be safe you
might want to remove from ant.properties all properties which you want
to override in the machine-specific properties files. For more
information, see the "Running Ant" section of the ant manual.
Hope this helps,
-Rick
