Question

I downloaded a red5 ant sample project. (http://osflash.org/red5)
the project contains several XML files that contain @new.project.name@ parameter:

build.xml
ivy.xml
src/logback.xml
www/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties
www/WEB-INF/web.xml

now.. should i edit and manually replace @new.project.name@ with the actual project name or is there something that automatically does this for me?

Answer 1

Ant copy task has the ability to replace those strings while running the ant build.
Here for example I can replace a @BRANCH@ token:

<copy file="${basedir}/.project.base" tofile="${basedir}/.project">
<filterchain>
    <replacetokens>
        <token key="BRANCH" value="${branch}"/>
    </replacetokens>
</filterchain>
</copy>
