I would be much happier with the filters being setup in the POM or
something that has nothing to do with Ant. I was going to port the
resource handling code to a small Java class because the expression
handling with Jexl is very brittle. While trying to make some very
simple changes things are breaking and I'm finding it's just easier to
make a small Java class than fight with Jelly all day. I realize most of
my problems are with Jexl but moving this code to Java is much simpler.
If you can figure out how you want to specify the filters I have the
code to handle copying resources with @FOO@ type tokens within.
I'm not fussy about the syntax but I do not want to bind the filtering
to Ant.
