Hi Alex, all The way I use it is that I have this in build.properties (just copy build.properties.default in repo) and change the content.
build.properties file is in .gitignore and I think it is the most idiomatic way to do this kind of stuff. $ cat build.properties ant.gen-doc.skip=true ant.no-checkstyle=true then "ant jar" takes 30 seconds. You can have different property files and you can switch them by "ant -propertyfile <file>". You can alias it in shell as well.
