I thought the API just returns all the props and it is up to the caller to decide what to do with the info, such as using the closest value, merging them etc. So why couldn't you return a Map where the key is the path where the property was found, and the value is the property value or even the Property object if we want to return the key and value? In Subclipse, I would probably use this for the bugtraq properties. Currently, we walk the tree in the WC looking for the property. I would expect to be able to just call the API for a path in the WC. I will then get back anywhere on that path or any of its parents where this property is set. In my case, I would use the closest value to the path I specified when I called the API. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
