Its easy to write a custom Selector. Have a try. Its documented in
Ant's documentation as well as the fine Java Development with Ant book
:) And as far as I can tell, nothing exists to do regular expression
matching. You could use <or> with two <contains> selectors if you
wanted to allow one space there and be a little flexible, but still a
bit rigid and allow zero or one space - that might be a reasonable first
approximation for what you're trying to do.
But, perhaps a bit off-topic, how about using XDoclet and @tags rather
than coming up with your own "# Java-Bean" metadata markup? There is
even JavaBeans support in the latest CVS (soon to be release) version of
XDoclet. What exactly are you doing with these tags?
