Well, the @REPLACE@ could be handled by a <filterchain> inside a copy.
The tricky part is finding the value for ${replacing}.
You might be able to do something with the AntContrib <PropertyRegex>
task. This can take a property and munge it.
Let's say you do something like this:
<path id="replaceme">
<fileset dir="${replace.dir}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<property name="replace.string" refid="replaceme"/>
This will give you ${replace.string} = "foo.jar:bar.jar:fobar.jar"
Not what you want, but then you can use <propertyregex>
<propertyregex
property="munge.replace"
input="${replace.string}"
regexp="[;:]"
replace="</string>"<string>"
global="true"/>
That will give you ${munge.replace} =
"foo.jar</string><string>bar.jar</string><string>foobar.jar"
Then, we need to add a prefix and suffix:
<property name="munge.replace2"
value="<string>${munge.replace}</string>"/>
It's all on a single line and not separate lines, but XML doesn't care.
<copy toDir="${dest.dir}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="*.jar">
</fileset>
<filterset
token="REPLACEME"
value="${munge.replace2"/>
</copy>
Haven't tested it, but something like that should work.
