or don't use the top level file to build projects that are largely 
independent ? I don't ;)

I don't think you should be running the hsql build from the base directory 
but from in the hsql directory. 

I was thinking about splitting the cornerstone build.xml into files. One just 
built cornerstone while the other would be a controller for all the projects 
build files. So if you wanted to rebuild all the projects (ftpserver, db, 
hsql, cornerstone, jesktop, etc) then you would do something like

ant -f all.xml clean main

or similar. Thoughts?

Yep - don't use "value" to define the location of tools dir but instead do 
something like

<property name="tools.dir" location="blah"/>

This will resolve the tools directory completely. On my box the tools.dir 
property would evaluate to

/opt/avalon/jakarta-avalon/tools

rather than just

../jakarta-avalon/tools
