I have declared a policy on what we will name new properties. Is
this a good formal policy to have?


<snip/>



If new properties get added (it happens), expect them to appear
under the "ant." and "org.apache.tools.ant" prefixes, unless the
developers have a very good reason to use another
prefix. Accordingly, please avoid using properties that begin
with these prefixes, to reduce the risk that future Ant releases
break your build file.


+1 as well

maybe we should reserve the "build." prefix as well -
build.sysclasspath and CVS HEAD's build.clonevm.



I wouldnt do that - I cant count the numbers of buildfiles where I have seen
build.dir and build.classes ...


+1 to rename build.clonevm to ant.build.clonevm in that case.
