OverwriteProperties.java should be Ant Task

           Summary: OverwriteProperties.java should be Ant Task
           Product: Jetspeed
           Version: 1.4b4-dev /CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: jetspeed-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: epugh@upstate.com


In the Tutorial for Jetspeed, the merging of tutorial specific properties into 
the vanilla jetspeed *.properties file is done via calling a main method.  I 
have written a testcase for OverwriteProperties, plus the supporting test 
data.  I refactored the OverwriteProperties so that a new class 
*.util.ant.OverwritePropertiesTask could use OverwriteProperties.  The new 
OverwriteProperties is 100% backward compatible.  I am successfully using the 
new ant task in my maven based Jetspeed plugin.  I love how overwrite 
properties works, and I think it might be something to backport into the 
turbine codebase at somepoint.  Once this new code is applied I will write up a 
doc on it.  Attached is the patch file for the build.xml, and a zip file with 
all the new classes and supporting test data.

Best,
Eric Pugh
