Honestly, its quite possible I am remembering wrong...
I'm looking over some of my old code...it looks like I wanted to emit a
warning if overriding - its me...again ;)

I don't think this (emitting a warning) was ever the case. Setting and
overriding defaults this way is one of the basic techniques in Ant. It
should probably be made more explicit in the manual.

Actually, nothing at all... I swear at one time I thought a warning was
emitted when doing that... It was at that time I started using the
enclosed macrodef... Perhaps I am just remembering wrong...

How is this different from just
<property name="SomeProperty" value="Some Default Value"/>
?

Here is something I like to use... I macrodef'd it out so I can call it
for many properties that require default values...
<macrodef name="default">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="default"/>
<attribute name="description" default=""/>
<sequential>
<condition property="@{property}" value="@{default}">
<not>
<isset property="@{name}"/>
</not>
</condition>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
This works with stock Ant (meaning you don't need Ant-contrib or any
third party libraries)...
To use:
<default property="SomeProperty" default="Some Default Value"/>

My ant script takes a value for a property at runtime(-Denv=xxx), if the
argument is not passed i want the value to be set as a default arbitary
value. How to accomplish this?
