The build.properties Files

When you build a test pack, the build is controlled by defaults specified in devKitHome/tests/common/build/build.properties and overridden by values you specify in devKitHome/tests/yourTestPack/build/build.properties. Initially, there are no overrides in your test pack’s build.properties file, so all defaults specified in the common build.properties file are in effect.

The common build.properties file has comments that describe each property and its values. The default values are likely to work well for you, but you should override at least one of them. By default, generated files contain a Sun Microsystems copyright. You should change this to copyright text appropriate for your organization. For example:

doc.copyright=\
\ Copyright 2007 My Company. All rights reserved. \n\
