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.

Thanks again,
Paul
