Just so this was clear, try this:

~/build.properties
------------------
lib.repo=/home/jakarta/jars

project/build.properties
------------------------
lib.repo=/tmp/jars

<project name="test" default="env" basedir=".">
  <property file="${user.home}/build.properties"/>
  <property file="build.properties"/>

  <target name="env">
    <echo message="lib.repo = ${lib.repo}"/>
  </target>

You will see that the value echoed for lib.repo is /home/jakarta/jars
and not /tmp/jars.
