Well, the @REPLACE@(protected).
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.
