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.


another +1. we can modify <property>to give a warning when these names are
used.

except of course they could be deliberate attempts to set things.




maybe we should reserve the "build." prefix as well -
build.sysclasspath and CVS HEAD's build.clonevm.


I wouldnt do that - I cant count the numbers of buildfiles where I have seen
build.dir and build.classes ...
