Thanks for the replies.
It appears that the main reason for copying is to filter and replace tokens. If
that's true, doesn't it make more sense to simply use the Replace task? Then, since
the filtering's been taken care of, just compile with the srcdir attribute set to your
source directory, and the destdir attribute to the build directory.
Was the Replace task not available in earlier versions of Ant, necessitating the Copy
workaround, or is there a performance advantage to filtering via Copy rather than
Replace?
