[Building Sakai] WARNs about placeholder.properties

[Seth Theriault]

Hello,

More thana few people have reported this WARN from 2.6 code:

2009-03-11 15:00:25,149 WARN main org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean - Could not load properties from URL [file:/spare/sakai-qa/sakai-demo/sakai/placeholder.properties]: /spare/sakai-qa/sakai-demo/sakai/placeholder.properties (No such file or directory)

There really isn't a reason for that WARN since the 
placeholder.properties file was allegedly deprecated a long time 
ago. Specifically, a warning message about its future removal was 
in place for almost a year starting in Feb 2007:

http://source.sakaiproject.org/viewsvn?view=rev&revision=21066

until it was removed just before the move to K1:

http://source.sakaiproject.org/viewsvn?view=rev&revision=39741

The JIRAs related to r39471 are here:
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-8315
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-12236
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-12237

Isn't it about time to put placeholder.properties out of its 
misery, since no one "should" be using it anyway?

Seth
