Re: Update of properties

Hallo everybody.

Temporarily I have solved it by this UGGLY HACK:

I have pre-defined the 'onsuccess' publisher plugin as follows (together with 
the comment which is VERY important):

  <!-- !!! UGGLY HACK !!!
       free to change: . :egnahc ot eerf
    -->
  <plugin name="forceconfigreread" 
classname="net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.publishers.OnSuccessPublisher" >
      <execute command="sed -r -i 's|^(\s*free to change:) ([^\s]*) (:egnahc 
ot eerf\s*)$|\1 \2. \3|' ${cruise.projects.dir}/config.allprojects.cruise" />
  </plugin>

and in each related "secondary" project I have add 

    <publishers>
       ....
       <forceconfigreread/>
    </publishers>

among publishers. Each succesfull build causes the addition of one dot into 
the moddle of "free to change: ...... :egnahc ot eerf"; it actually changes 
md5sum of the config file, which is detected by cruisecontrol and resulting 
in the re-reading of the configuration again.

It seems to be working, however I would like to replace it by something more 
robust in a future. If you have any suggestion or concepts, please write it 
to me. I would like to code patch for cruise control sources, if the idea is 
accepted by CC developpers ...

Best regards
Dan T.
