FYI Class Constants as Ant properties

[Nicola Ken Barozzi]

I was browsing the Ant docs, and found this... so we can also keep 
constants in java classes and use them in the Ant buildfile.



"
ClassConstants
This filters basic constants defined in a Java Class, and outputs them 
in lines composed of the format name=value

Example:
This loads the basic constants defined in a Java class as Ant properties.
<loadproperties srcfile="foo.class">
  <filterchain>
    <filterreader classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ClassConstants"/>
  </filterchain>
</loadproperties>
Convenience method:

<loadproperties srcfile="foo.class">
  <filterchain>
    <classconstants/>
  </filterchain>
</loadproperties>
