Time for phase two of the cunning plan to beanify the world... - Now that the properties file is flat rather than hierarchic, it makes no sense to continue having per-module properties files. There should be a single, global properties file from which all beans are populated. - The per-module build time properties are similarly little used, with the exception of values that could just as well be global: sourceid (i.e. svn tag) and such. Can anyone see a reason for sticking with a custom per-module build properties file, rather than using META-INF/MANIFEST.MF? - The per-module Info.java classes and the Configuration.java classes should be removed in favour of bean properties, a method to dump the state of the EnvironmentBeans and a method to dump the global build time data, which are more useful in the modern world. comments?
