The  <[CDATA[  ]]>  bracketing simply tells the xml parser to read the 
enclosed text as raw text.  This allows you to use embedded characters like < 
and >, and is quite handy when the text is code fragments which can contain a 
lot of these special characters.  (It allows you to cut and paste into XML.)

The resulting parsed xml document is identical whether you use entities to 
escape individual characters or use CDATA.

If your program writes the document out again, the CDATA will be gone and the 
corresponding text in the resulting document will escape individual characters 
with  entities like > and <.

One of the nice things about maven projects is that you download them
and they just work.

Assuming the dictionary source files are already broken down by letters
of the alphabet, then the following 5 lines of code does most of it.
(Note that the sed scripts are pretty close to just a line by line
trim() and, of course, you may need to sort the file names.)



   
   org.codehaus.groovy.maven
   gmaven-plugin
   

 generate-resources
 
   execute

You're the first person who needed to do this as part of their build,
it would seem...

It doesn't really make sense to me that you'd do this dictionary
merging/sorting every single time you run a build, or even
occasionally such that you'd want a profile, so I'd probably not be
looking for a Maven-solution to this anyway (personally). But I don't
fully understand the requirements here so it is likely that I am
missing something obvious.

few simple tasks like merging/concating files together, replacing random strings

Argh, was to quick with the send button...

The two maven plugins are:
http://www.stephenduncanjr.com/projects/xpathreplacement-maven-plugin
http://code.google.com/p/maven-replacer-plugin/

But xpathreplacement-maven-plugin seems more XML-oriented and the 
replacer-plugin would need a bit of improvement, if I look at the code...

Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool not a
general purpose utility.

As someone has noted you could write your own plugin to cater for this
is needed, but you could also just invoke Ant (from Maven) which has
more utility support like you are wanting.

The other point to note is that if you dont always need a portable
solution. Especially if you are contained to your corporate
environment and you have a known SOE to support.
