When creating resources, java for example a user has to duplicate data and they can get out of sync. When adding java I can create versions of the java resource for 1.4 and 5.0. However, I need to recreate the 5.0 version info for the default resource spcification. It would IMO be better to have the defualt resource be a dropdwon to the configured versions with a blank entry to indicate no default chosen. So for java versions 1.4 and 5.o, the default resource dropdown would have 3 entries ("", 5.0 and 1.4).

Yes, this is a good point. The only slight complication is resource auto-discovery does not currently detect the version of the discovered resources, thus the default version is used. The ideal would be to discover the version automatically. Whatever we do, we will certainly eliminate the duplication required.

I have scheduled this into the 1.2 release.

Actually the default properties should more accurately be called global, as they are inherited by every version. We will rename them to prevent confusion. We will also add a default version concept, which will be configured more as you describe. Scheduling for the next build as this is important now that resource discovery creates versions.
