If you're already using maven, rolling your templates into a jar is the
easiest thing in the world.
As you're german, I left the german remarks in. This is _straight_ from
one of my applications where I roll up the templates into a jar for
deployment and leave them unrolled for debugging and development.
Maven is all about making things easier in a modular way. Doing things
like this, maven really shines.
BTW: The first two pattern sets are basically "just this file in a tree"
and "everything in this tree but just this file". Is there any way to
get an "inverted" file set in maven / ant?
