> artifactproperty use getProject().setProperty() to set the property.  This method overwrite the properties if it already exists.
> As the standard in ant is to not overwrite properties, we should do the same (use getProject().setNewProperty()).
> However, that would raise a backward compatibility issue.  So, we should at least provides an attribute to allow working as it worked before.
> But I think complying with ant normal behavior is more important than keeping full backward compatibilty in the context of a 2.0 release.   So the default should be to not overwrite.
