An installation can provide its own set of default values for build options and control whether those default values can be overridden.
To set up the master build descriptor, create two build descriptor parts in the same build file, the first referencing the second by use of the build descriptor option nextBuildDescriptor. The options in the first part specify default values for options that may not be overridden. The options in the second part specify default values for options that can be overridden.

The file path (filePath) is in relation to the workspace directory.
