The following is not going to really help you, but I just wanted to point
out that a plugin was recently initiated at mojo (still in the sandbox)
dedicated to templating (called templating-maven-plugin).
It's currently only supporting Maven sources filtering, but the plan is to
support different templating engines like velocity or mustache for example.

Cheers
