Hi Sven, You may wish to look into using "ant" as your build tool. In our office, we use it to perform large numbers of variable replacements. For example, my database configuration is different in my development environment as opposed to my production environment. Since the correct build.properties file is in my home directory on both systems, it runs the build with the variables appropriate for the correct location.
Go to "http://ant.apache.org"; to check it out. In particular, you want to look at the "filter" and "filterset" elements to be included in your build.xml file. Take a look at the following pages from the manual: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/filter.html http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/filterset.html Best of luck! Ant will make your life so much easier...
