Property.java does not implement execute?

[Brad Lyon <br...@ntown.com>]

Please point me to a faq if this is a common question.

I noticed that Property.java extends Task.java but does not implement an 
execute method. Instead, what is effectively the "execute" is in the init 
method. This seems odd, because it means that ALL properties will be set 
even if the they are in a target that won't get built. This is causing me 
some problems, and before I change my copy of the code, I need to know is 
this is the intended behavior of "property"; i.e., anytime you have 
<property.../> it will be set for the project no matter what.

Sorry if I'm wrong - please point me out if so. Thanks.
