Ant-antidote persistent properties
Here is a set of files I already sent to Christoph. I didn't want to clog the list, but then
I realized it might be part of the community's informal group review process, so belatedly
I am posting this to the list also:
======================
Hi Christoph --
This diff + the new files (see the package statements for their locations) implement a PropertiesManager
and incidentally add an arg parsing framework. Both frameworks are from my own open source corpus.
* The default properties file is {user.home}/apache.ant.antidote.persistent.properties
* Using the new -p argument you can pass in a properties filename instead
* If the properties file does not exist, it is created.
If you like it, I will convert the Reopener to use this instead of writing its own properties file.
After that, I will begin a GUI interface to persistent properties.

I'll take a look at that as time permits. Didn't know it was there.
In any case, you approve of the PropertiesManager?

Okay, that's my next step.

It would be if we actually had some settings to save! Do you have a list
of settings that we will want to save?

Applied, but I rather would have preferred if you have used the Ant
argument-parsing or the CLI framework by Jakarta-Commons:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cli/index.html
Would be "nice" to replace yours by one of these IMHO just for some
political reasons... ;-)

Yes, please, for it does not do much ATM ;-)!

Well, this should be the main purpose of the persitent properties :-)!
