returning var value to initial value

If I define 'foo=something' in a build.properties or project.properties and
I <j:set var="foo" value="bar" /> in maven.xml, is there a way I can return
'foo' to the original value (i.e. re-initialize?) defined in
build.properties or project.properties without having to <j:set var="foo"
value="something" />?

Re: returning var value to initial value

Posted by "Jefferson K. French" <je...@frenches.org>.
I don't know if there is a builtin way, but would this work?

  <j:set var="foo.orig" value="${foo}" />
  <j:set var="foo" value="bar" />

  <!-- At some later point... -->
  <j:set var="foo" value="${foo.orig}" />

I couldn't tell from your question if you were trying to avoid the
j:set altogether, or just avoid hardcoding the original value.
