RE: Re: Java World: Build scripts with Groovy and Ant artcicle

Properties expansion would be great indeed!
But my little class was just a quick hack.
And it didn't provide that feature.
Since the syntax is the same as Groovy's GString, perhaps I could quite easily 
wire that.
I'll have a look at it again to see if I can do it.

That would be an improvement, and it appears useful.  It reminds me of 
Ant's <property environment=...

I'm wondering what would happen with this build.properties file:

aproperty=avalue
anotherproperty=${aproperty}/build

Would the results be:

props.aproperty=avalue
props.anotherproperty=avalue/build

?
