Hi Steve, Thanks for your response. I tried your way yesterday evening but now I have 18 properties files (16 with business and build properties and 2 for the paths to the properties file). Some of them have 50-60 properties defined, and all others have only 3 or 4. Is that better than having recursive resolution ? That's why I asked my question : what is the limit betwenn several properties to maintain and the recurive resolution concern ? In our mind (my boss and me), we won't be able to maintain this lot of properties files. (Because now we should store them into a SCM and control the dependancies and the coherence betwenn all properties file for a build as we could have multiple build in the same hour with "naturely" change of properties). So we will develope a recursive resolution task, it solve the potential issue on multiple properties files management. I will contribute this if your are interested.
