java.lang.NullPointerException in BaseFilterReader

           Summary: java.lang.NullPointerException in BaseFilterReader
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: PC

Hi,
when running the following example (copied from the documentation):
<echo
  message="All these moments will be lost in time, like teardrops in the 
${weather}" file="loadfile1.tmp" />
<property name="weather" value="rain" />
<loadfile property="modifiedmessage" srcFile="loadfile1.tmp">
  <filterchain>
    <filterreader
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ExpandProperties"/>
  </filterchain>
</loadfile>

I have this exception:
project:
Property ${weather} has not been set
 [loadfile] loading C:\JavaLib\jakarta-ant-1.6alpha\test\loadfile1.tmp into prop
erty modifiedmessage

It looks that the project is not set when using the classname loading. 
It works fine with the built-in filter (convenience method).
It may be a problem for customized FilterReader.

Thanks,
Stephane
