There are currently three properties used in Constants.java: the name, the copyright year and the version. Ok, the first one could be simply hard-coded because it is fixed. (And I think we can remove this name property completly from the build system).
Now, if this is the only place in the java code where filters are used, I personally have no problems with hardcoding the version and the copyright in Constants.java, so that the filters are not required. This would (unfortunately) lead to the fact that we define these two pieces of information in two places and both have to be updated accordingly. But fortunately I'm currently doing the releases and I'm updating the information in the build files, so I can also update them in Constants.java as well. No problem.
What do you think?
+1
Also, we should not use filtering for copyright years, they must be set by hand, since CVS *does* deliver them, and without filtering.
