Boys and gals, We have been re-thinking the Magic strategy. The standard.xml doesn't declare <x:home/> and that is done in the build.xml instead. By doing this, we don't need any hardcoded properties passed from the build.properties to Magic.
Furthermore, it makes things more explicit and understandable, and would allow us to do even more in the <x:home/> task in the future. The recommended set up of the build.xml is now; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <project name="facilities" default="default" basedir="." xmlns:x="antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools"> <property file="build.properties"/> <x:home /> <import file="${magic.templates}/standard.xml"/> </project> for 'reactor' projects, replace standard.xml with reactor.xml The entire Avalon codebase has been converted to this format, and the central/system/standard.xml has been killed. The new ${magic.home}/templates/standard.xml (and reactor.xml) doesn't contain a <x:home/> declaration. People who has set up Magic, will need to make some adjustments to stay in-line with the development of Magic.
