--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> artifactproperty overwrites the existing properties
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IVY-587
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-587
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Ant
> Reporter: Gilles Scokart
> Assignee: Gilles Scokart
> Fix For: 2.0.0-beta-1
>
>
> artifactproperty use getProject().setProperty() to set the property. This
> method overwrite the properties if it already exists.
> As the standard in ant is to not overwrite properties, we should do the same
> (use getProject().setNewProperty()).
> However, that would raise a backward compatibility issue. So, we should at
> least provides an attribute to allow working as it worked before.
> But I think complying with ant normal behavior is more important than keeping
> full backward compatibilty in the context of a 2.0 release. So the default
> should be to not overwrite.
