    Hello,

    I agree with Kaj.

    How about making it so that the existence of the wobuild.properties
    files is checked for, and if not found, then assume the properties are
    already loaded.

    We use the project Wonder build functionality and we use a
    build.properties file in our home directory. It would be nice if we
    didn't need yet another properties file to manage.

    It would also be nice if the properties that are needed by the
    woproject build functionality were documented somewhere. Then we
    developers could decide which file to place these properties.
