I have declared a policy on what we will name new properties. Is this a good formal policy to have?
<snip/>
If new properties get added (it happens), expect them to appear under the "ant." and "org.apache.tools.ant" prefixes, unless the developers have a very good reason to use another prefix. Accordingly, please avoid using properties that begin with these prefixes, to reduce the risk that future Ant releases break your build file.
+1
maybe we should reserve the "build." prefix as well - build.sysclasspath and CVS HEAD's build.clonevm.
I thought that, but then I use things like build.dir, build.test.dir everywhere. I think we are better off adding new stuff under ant.* ; which leaves one place of instability in future.
