In the project I'm working on currently, there is no clear distinction 
between the two.  In fact, I'm not too sure why you'd want to 
distinguish between them...if you have a second, pls explain it to me?

Thanks,
John

Err... filter tokens are separate from properties.  Always have been.

<filter token="year" value="2001" />
<filter filtersfile="file_of_filters" />

<copy todir="${dest.dir}" filtering="yes" >
  <fileset dir="${src.dir} />
</copy>

I'm -1 for making properties defacto filter tokens.  Anyone care to 
argue me
out of that position? :-)
