Require Property

  This rule can enforce that a declared property is set and optionally evaluate it against a regular expression.


   The following parameters are supported by this rule:
   
   * property - the property to evaluate.
   
   * message - an optional message to the user if the rule fails. Default is: "Property 'xxx' is required for this build".	
   
   * regex - a regular expression used to check the value of the property.
   
   * regexMessage - an optional message to the user if the regex check fails.
