Regarding the Ant way... I could do what I want just by not defining a given property in my properties file, that would be acceptable. However, I encountered a problem doing that...
The first task in my build bumps up a build number in the properties file. In doing so, it seems that any comments in the properties file are wiped out. I wouldn't want to do conditionals this way unles I could have a comment that says "uncomment this for build type A, comment it for type B". So, is there a way to get this task... <propertyfile file="build.properties"> <entry key="build_number" default="0" type="int" operation="+" value="1" pattern="0000" /> </propertyfile> To NOT wipe out my comments?
