An alternative approach is to use Ant.
While it does involve using an additional tool, I find
Ant much more intuitive to use than trying to figure
out the jde variables that apply in a particular
situation.
I suppose if I was more of a Calvinist I would see the
process of learning all the jde variables as
character-building, but I'm just a programmer.
Besides, when I ask a question of the Ant programmers,
they manage to answer the question with out insulting
me.
