Regarding the Ant way...

I could do what I want just by not defining a given property in my
properties file, that would be acceptable.  However, I encountered a
problem doing that...

The first task in my build bumps up a build number in the properties file.
 In doing so, it seems that any comments in the properties file are wiped
out.  I wouldn't want to do conditionals this way unles I could have a
comment that says "uncomment this for build type A, comment it for type
B".

So, is there a way to get this task...

<propertyfile file="build.properties">
  <entry key="build_number" default="0" type="int" operation="+" value="1"
pattern="0000" />
</propertyfile>

To NOT wipe out my comments?  Thanks again, I'm learning alot :)
