components.properties is used when you run the tests from eclipse (ie. there is no chance for ant to replace values).
of course I *could* use components.properties when I deploy to an EAR, but then I would need three different components.properties files for every example app (testng, jboss, tomcat), and then some complex crap in Ant to pick the one I want for a particular deplyment, and I really CBF having all those shitty files. So I just use Ant replace. You don't need components.properties at all if all you want to do is deploy to an appserver.
