With the FilterReader hat on, I look at this as
another use-case for a task like <loadproperties>
(with filterreaders, of course :-) )

<loadproperties file="foo.class">
    <filterreaderset>
        <filterreader classname="my.own.GetConstantsFromClassAsProperties"/>
    </filterreaderset>
</loadproperties>

Anyway, till such a task sees the light of day...

Cheers,
Magesh
