Werner Guttmann commented on MCASTOR-14:
----------------------------------------

Matt, after some debugging yesterday, I came to realize that no default value 
is actually set. In other words, if no property file is specified as part of 
the plugin configuration, none will be used. And i think that this is what I'd 
wanted anyhow. In other words, I would *not* switch to using a default-value 
attribute. Having said that, my understanding of the expression attribute with 
Maven 2 plugins was that you specify the name of a property you can use on the 
command line to specify a value. Maybe I am wrong .....

The way Castor goes about coming up with a builder configuration in general is 
as follows:

a) Take the castorbuilder.properties from the CLASSPATH stored in 
org/exolab/castor/builder (to be found in the JAR file).
b) Look for a castorbuilder.properties in the CLASSPATH. Use any properties 
defined therein to override the default ones.
c) If a custom properties file is specified via calling 
SourceGenerator.setProperties(), use it , and use any properties defined 
therein to override the default ones.

I hope this helps.
