Before I comment further below, let me add that I support breaking PropertyHelper, I don't really think it is in use too much and if breaking helps with getting things right, we should do it (in 1.8.x).
It is used in a (small) number of projects: for example http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/AntXtras/docs/howto/overlay_subproject.html and (the now not-reachable) http://www.efanomars.net/pf (see: http://marc.info/?l=ant-dev&m=115852895204164&w=2)
The follows mentions an intention to use it: http://buckminster.tigris.org/status.html I am sure that there are others. Peter

We had cases in <ant> IIRC where we used code that implied that project.getProperties() would retun a Hashtable that only contained String values. It didn't take long before we received a Bugzilla report since people added non-Strings to project properties via the API. We may not like it, but people "abuse" the property system in that way. > Finally, if any of the old-timers has any more > information on Costin's mention of "dynamic > properties" without my having to search the archives > (lazy), feel free. :) I probably qualify as an old-timer (in several ways ;-) but I must admit that I don't really recall what Costin was referring to, sorry.
