The obvious side effect would be that they could simply set an environment variable that was probably already set on their system and then run either the maven or the ant version without editing files. <br></blockquote><div>
<br>Right. For most end users (should we say corp developers), they don't have 10 application servers installed like us project devs. So JBOSS_HOME is actually much more reliable. I'm quiet certain you can reference JBOSS_HOME in the build.properties file, so perhaps make that the default?<br>
<br>build.properties<br><br>jboss.home=${env.JBOSS_HOME}<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
There's a tiny benefit for those checking out the code from SVN. They won't get icons in Tortoise/Eclipse telling them they have uncommitted changes. I usually personally avoid setting machine-specific files in SCM if I can find an alternative as I hate it when I am the dummy who accidentally commits his local config.</blockquote>
<div><br>I'm pretty sure that Pete made the build accommodate a local.build.properties file (which is not in SVN and excluded) to avoid the modified file problem. But still, the default suggested above could circumvent having to make any change at all.<br>
