Thanks a lot Gilbert for the insight!
Since the proposed libraries are not shipped with Eclipse (where I
start my Ant task from) by default I fall back to the solution I
posted before however.
Cheers,
Nicolai

Because in core ant, once set properties are immutable.
But there are existing tasks and workarounds for that restriction.
The stringutils [1] you're are searching for are part of the
excellent
tasksuite antelope [2].
Also the antcontrib task suite [3] has such tasks, for example
propertyregex.
Beside that you can always go with script, and project.setProperty()
i.e. see an example [4] to change or overwrite existing properties.
If you don't want to overwrite use the setNewProperty() method
instead.
