FW: ProjectHelper.parsePropertyString removes $'s - Is this a bug?

[Marc Luce]

have you tried using $$?  I have (sadly) stepped away from my Ant
involvement for 2 releases, but in the past you needed to escape the $.

I found that the $ symbol is being stripped from SQL used in my <sql>
tasks. Investigating further....

 import org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper;

 public class AntBug {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(
            ProjectHelper.replaceProperties(null,
                                            "This $ is $ a $test",
                                            null));
     }
 }

gives "This  is  a test"

Surely this isn't the desired behaviour?
