property override ignored?

[Hakan Koseoglu <ha...@datafit.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Ant, Starteam and Cruisecontrol working together. When I 
run my Cruisecontrol task, of all things I get the following error:
 [property] Override ignored for user.name   

I'm setting this property in a file which is called from build.xml like    
<property file="make/build.properties"/>. Is there a reason why this is being 
ignored? I don't have any user.name property in cruisecontrol.properties file 
at all. Then either ant or cruisecontrol sets the ${user.name} to `root`, 
hence no check out from the source repisatory.

user.name is a system property, set by a call to System.getProperties,
which looks to get done before any of the build-file is executed, so you
wouldn't be able to set it with a <property> task, since by the time the
<property> task gets executed, it's already been set. In order to override
user.name, you'd need to pass it on the command-line -- ie., either
manually include a -Duser.name="whoever", or have a $HOME/.antrc file (on
*nix systems, %HOME%\antrc_pre.bat on Win*) that sets USERNAME (eg.,
export USERNAME=whoever).
