MetaData Override

I learnt something I didn’t know, so I thought I would share it. I was creating a build for a client that builds several technologies. PowerBuilder, Java, .net 1.1, SQL Server 2008, Reporting Services and .net 3.5.
I altered the Default Template to perform the other technology builds. The problem was The Build Settings argument is required and in this case I didn’t want it to be. They may use the process to build something that is not a .net solution after all.
The trick I found: If you add the Buildsettings to the MetaData argument and don’t make it required it overrides the default.This way you can still use Buildsettings just like you would in the DefaultTemplate however if it’s not needed for the build definition you are creating it will not be required.
