Have property files that are loaded per OS type/deployment environment.
e.g. "build.dev.properties" & "build.prod.properties" or a set of
"build.${os.name}.properties" files (but then you have to do the deploy
process on the same OS as the deploy target).
So you can have a "${deploy.persist.dir}" property defined in each one, and
dependent on where you are deploying to.
If necessary, you can have a property defined in one file (that is loaded
first) and then use that in another property file. e.g.:
${deploy.persist.base.dir} defined in build.dev.properties (& .prod.) and
then another like
"build.persist.dir=${build.persist.base.dir}/subdir/subdir" in
build.properties.
