Description Jesse Glick 2004-08-31 13:10:07 UTC 
Currently gives an error if you try to use e.g.

<property-file>${something}/whatever.properties</>

Should not. Easy enough to make it eval
${something}; harder to make it listen to changes
in ${something}'s value and reread the properties
file accordingly.

Have patch which not only handles substs in the file path, but if the
file path changes due to a change in some earlier property definition
or property file, reads the newly named file instead.
