Maybe I'm not understanding what you need to do (since I can't think of
why you'd need to reference a filter-token). You can use the same file for
both filters and properties. Just read the file in twice -- once using
<property> and again using <filter>. Eg., put those tasks in an "init"
target:
<target name="init">
<property file="build.properties"/>
<filter filtersfile="build.properties"/>
</target>
Now, any filtered copying you do, just set filtering="true" (or yes|on),
and you should be good to go, without having to do any addition <filter>
tasks, and you can still reference things as normal properties where you
need to.
