Vincent, Brett, Your responses don't seem to address the issue of the filtered web.xml file. The solutions you linked to look good, but I don't see how they address that specific problem.
Stephen's suggestions seem workable, but they also appear to depend on plugins or IDE features that don't currently exist. Let me know if I'm going against the grain trying to have a file filtered inplace. I think I have things working using some Ant tasks within M2 to do the copy/filter/rename, so I'm going to go with that until I hear something better.
