Immo Huneke commented on MRESOURCES-29:
---------------------------------------

No, actually I have verified that writing $ is PRECISELY equivalent to 
writing $ - if you use it to introduce a property reference then the value is 
interpolated. So we're still looking for a workable escape mechanism.

> An escape mechanism for property interpolation is missing.

> It would be great, if there was a mechanism that let's you escape a property 
> so that it is not replaced by the filtering machism. E.g. in a log4j.xml 
> configuration file you might want to preserve ${user.home}, but replace some 
> other property like ${log.dir}. Currently there is no convenient way to 
> achieve that.
> Alternatively to escaping, it would be helpful, if one could choose the token 
> format. So, if one could say, only honor @token@ and not ${token} (or the 
> other way around) one could easily work around the escape problem.
> Workaround for the problem mentioned above:
> replace the ${user.home} in log4j.xml with @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@end@ and define 
>     start=${    and end=$}   in the property file
