I usually have a special copy task that expands every ${something}
property in a file:
<presetdef name="expandingcopy">
<copy overwrite="true">
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
</presetdef>
use this whenever I want to fill in a file with ant properties:
<expandingcopy todir="${rpm.SPECS}" >
<fileset dir="${rpm.metadata.dir}" includes="**/*.spec"/>
</expandingcopy>
By setting overwrite=true you guarantee the copy always takes place,
which forces all downstream work to be rebuilt too. Apart from that, it
works very well
