If I understand correctly. Your suggesting we each create in our home
directories a property file.

In this file you would have all your local settings
e.g.

yanel.home=/home/alec/code/yanel_trunk
tomcat.home=/opt/tomcat/

Etc...

Then the build.sh first tries to read these properties using the ant
variable ${user.home}.

Immediately after it will read a default properties file and set
whatever was not included.

I'm quite familiar with this approach and find it works exceptionally well.

The same file can be read by a realm specific build.xml file so that we
would only need to call ant in the realms directory to build and  then
link to yanel/realms.
