RE: [aspectj-users] An idea to improve AJDT build configuration UI

[Ramnivas Laddad <ramnivas@xxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal in comments 12 and 13 would allows me to
do what I want: reuse of configuration info between ANT 
and AJDT. 

I think the build.xml/XPath expresssion implementation 
supports the "write build.xml first or use an existing 
build.xml" use case better. While the .properties proposal 
supports the "create configuration first" use case better.

I do think, however, that if only one style is to be 
supported, it should be .properties (in comments 12 and 13).
This way configurations can be edited graphically much
better and ANT build files can still use them without
much problem.
