Agree in principle. As a matter of fact, we already have the PropertyHelper chain framework. Take a look at how velocity properties(for example) get activated. What you need is: 1) Your own implementation of PropertyHelper that does recursive property expansion. 2) Provide a task that adds your property helper to the property expansion chain. So, if someone wants to use your feature, it must call the your task in order to activate it. No BC issue, here. No need to pass new funny args in the command line ( :-P ) Everything is there in the buildfile. Lets, use the frameworks we already have....
