The idea of this work was to cleanup the build process so that it was very manageable and had a great number of common sense defaults setup so that the property configurations were not difficult. This would allow for easier installation as well as development. When I was doing this work, I setup the build so that the user could more easily switch between MySQL and MSSQL. So a large part of this work over-lapped with the work to get the system ready for opening to the community.
