[gradle-user] How to do read filters from a file.

[Jesse Eichar]

Hi,

I want to do the ant filter:

ant.copy (todir: "$buildDir/webappSource") {
    fileset(dir: "src/main/filtered-webapp")
    filterset (begintoken: '@', endtoken: '@'){
        filtersfile(file:
"${project(':proxy:config').projectDir}/filters/global-resource.filter")
    }
}

I can see from the API how to do this if the filters are in memory.
 Something like:

task copyTask(type: Copy) {
    from 'src/main/webapp'
    into 'build/explodedWar'

    filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens:[copyright:'2009', version:'2.3.1'])
}

Should I use ReplaceTokens and simply pass the Properties object to the
method?  Or is there a cleaner way?

Thank you Jesse
