Thanks for the reply and a possible solution but this seems more like a
hack.
Yeah, right now I have something like
Public static final String programName = "Java Program XYZ";
I'd like to be able to make one where that string is "Java Program XYZ -
Development Version" automagically using ant.
If the javac command could set properties the way the java command does
it would be nice.
If this isn't the case I guess I'll be stuck with a "hack" like this.
Just seems to be a pain to explicitly copy the original to a tmp
directory, do the replacement on the file, compile it and then copy the
original file back.
That's really brittle.
what we do is create properties files on the fly and stick them in the
JAR; then you read them in in your java source
and print the values out
