Hi all, I've just got the props antlib working within my odd usecase.
I'm using mvn + antrun plugin and I've installed the patched version of ant and the props antlib. Then in a parent pom, I've got the complete <typedef> etc setup for the property helper ie <propertyhelper> <stringops/> </propertyhelper> I munge the property with a regexp (very nice Matt, worked perfectly). Finally in the child pom.xml I set the property value that will be munged. Issues I came across. 1- Without the ant-nodeps jar, the propertyhelper task fails with a ClassNotFoundException for ...Jdk14Regexp.Regexp I fixed this by installing this jar in my ~/.m2/repository, and altering the classpath for the typedef 2- Munging the property directly won't work. I had to first copy the child property into an intermediate property and then perform the regexp on that - I guess this has to do with the mvn->ant mapping in some way - and it's not much of a hassle when you know the workaround Anyway, for my use case of removing a hardcoded svn repo URL in the pom/profile when it's already available in the <scm><connection> in the pom, this antlib works perfectly.
