Dion posts about Spring's PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer class which allows you to share configuration very easily. He uses an example of a properties file which is used both in the code as well as by Ant during the build process.
It is very easy to keep repeating your configuration when developing anything larger than a few lines of code. I know our current system doesn't share things and so we have duplication between build information and stuff needed within the app.
