Thanks for the replies! It seems to me that ideally we would have a property for the multiproject plugin which indicates whether sub-projects should inherit project.properties or not. I would prefer it not inherit properties, because each of my sub-projects can build on its own just fine (with its own properties, defaults, etc.) However, I can also think of instances where you *would* want to inherit.
