Sorry for jumping in late on this. Erik,
I hope you haven't coded this out already -
would you consider this suggestion?
<LoadProperty file="blah">
<filterreaderset>
<filter classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.TransformProperty">
<param name="keyprefix" value="somePrefix"/>
<param name="keysuffix" value="someSuffix"/>
</filter>
</filterreaderset>
</LoadProperty>
Two reasons for this:
1. <property> is loaded enough already.
2. using filterreaders will make it more customizable
- tomorrow, somebody would consider suffixing the keys
as what they want instead of prefixing them, etc. This
way we let the user choose what she wants to do...
Thanks,
Magesh
