+++ <h1>Using Ant to build Cocoon</h1>
+++ 
+++ <p>The Cocoon build system is based on Ant.</p>
+++ 
+++ <h2>Precedence of properties in *.properties files</h2>
+++ 
+++ <p>As Ant runs, it makes use of the properties it finds in various .properties
+++ files. A property is set like this:</p>
+++ 
+++ <pre>exclude.all.blocks=true
+++ </pre>
+++ 
+++ <p>Once an Ant property is set it cannot be altered. Ant looks for properties
+++ found in .properties files in the following order:</p>
+++ 
+++ <ol>
+++ <li>cocoon.build.properties in the user's home directory.</li>
+++ <li>local.build.properties in the main project directory.</li>
+++ <li>build.properties in the main project directory.</li>
+++ </ol>
+++ 
+++ <p>For example, if cocoon.build.properties contains the line
+++ "exclude.all.blocks=true" then this will override any settings to the contrary
+++ in later files (i.e. in local.build.properties or build.properties).</p>
