Precedence of options

For a given build descriptor option (or Java run-time property), the value that is initially processed at generation time stays in effect, and the overall order of precedence is as follows:

  1. The master build descriptor
  2. The generation-specific build descriptor, followed by the chain that extends from it
  3. The chain that extends from the master build descriptor

The benefit of this scheme is convenience:

If a given build descriptor is used more than once, only the first access of that build descriptor has an effect. Also, only the first specification of a particular option has an effect.
