Thanks; I am aware that I could just keep the processing in ant; there are a couple of problems with your solution, that I see:
1) If I keep the file in the source directory, changing it wreaks havoc with source control - CM cannot tell if I meant to change it or not, and in a system such as Perforce, the file would be read-only in any event if I am not changing it. 2) The ant solution makes it very hard to ensure that the file gets added to the list of files that maven will compile That's why I want a plugin that does this the maven way.
