Ok. Someone had provided a patch in issue 40093, which adresses this, so
I'll just wait for that one to be merged into ant proper then.
The PropertyHelper class is indeed rather confusing.
Thanks,

Replacement of propertyhelper is broken in current ant:

However some people have done it see:

My feeling that the replacement of propertyhelper was
always broken and it is a very heavy handed way of
adding custom property handling.
Note that PropertyHelper also provides an alternative
way of adding optional behavour - using hooks. I think
that this is also broken (I do not understand what it
is meant to do). PropertyHelper also has "namespace"
attributes ... which do not get used.

I got response on the bugzilla issue, that there is a PropertyHelper
class that I should be able to override to do this. It is, apparently,
just a bit awkward to replace the current instance. However, I was
informed that it should be doable with a <script> task. Fair enough. :)
.. I'm posting here be
Has anyone any experience with doing that, because I don't know where to
set that class? (I'd assume not, otherwise I would have expected to be
pointed there on my first post. :)
PropertyHelper.getPropertyHelper(Project p) .. doesn't seem get what I
want, and the doc for that function indicates that it's a factyr method,
thus creating a new object.
Any input?
