My choice, too. SVN to update the Ant script. But not external properties. I tend to think that what is maintained externally should not be cut off from its source; so better keep in touch with upstream versions and bugfixes instead of hardcoding your dependency to some version that will sooner or later be a legacy version. > I use the java svn command line client (so that it works on all > platforms) that is also checked into the ant build system sandbox.
