Well, the @REPLACE@ could be handled by a <filterchain> inside a copy. The tricky part is finding the value for ${replacing}.
You might be able to do something with the AntContrib <PropertyRegex> task. This can take a property and munge it. Let's say you do something like this: <path id="replaceme"> <fileset dir="${replace.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"/> </fileset> </path> <property name="replace.string" refid="replaceme"/> This will give you ${replace.string} = "foo.jar:bar.jar:fobar.jar" Not what you want, but then you can use <propertyregex> <propertyregex property="munge.replace" input="${replace.string}" regexp="[;:]" replace="</string>"<string>" global="true"/> That will give you ${munge.replace} = "foo.jar</string><string>bar.jar</string><string>foobar.jar" Then, we need to add a prefix and suffix: <property name="munge.replace2" value="<string>${munge.replace}</string>"/> It's all on a single line and not separate lines, but XML doesn't care. <copy toDir="${dest.dir}"> <fileset dir="${src.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"> </fileset> <filterset token="REPLACEME" value="${munge.replace2"/> </copy> Haven't tested it, but something like that should work.
