Shouldn't the User's property file be read AFTER the default build, that way
the default properties can be overridden there?

Thanks,

In Ant as soon as a property is declared it cannot be overriden (apart 
if you use ant-contrib). So if the user put his custom properties (like 
the install folder...) in the user property file and the build file read 
his properties before reading the default this will be the properties of 
the user which will take precedence. Is this the behavior you want?
