---------------------------------------

Thanks for the input, Eddie.

However, TCH is invoked by an custom ant task that extends the Java task.  I will look into using a <propertyset> to match properties, but I am not sure if TCH will allow nested  <propertyset>'s. 

In this case, the only real problem with using inheritall is that if there are any properties with a prefix of "tch." that TCH does not recognize, it will die.  

  <tch tchHome="${tch.home}"
       testfile="${test-suite}"
       fork="true"
       classpathref="tch.run.classpath"
       failureproperty="run.failed"
       dir="${controls.test.root}">

> In order for TCH to inherit all tch.* properties (including filters), TCH needs to be run with inheritall="true".  Without this attribute, TCH will only pick up properties that are set on the command line (-Dtch.propname=value) and not any properties that are set programmatically.
> If this change is made, the names of several other properties will need to be changed:
>   tch.jar
>   tch.schema.jar
>   tch.xbean.jar
> The preferred fix is to give these properties the "tchx" prefix:
>   tchx.jar
>   tchx.schema.jar
>   tchx.xbean.jar
> There may be some other conflicts - I will look into it.
