Property values with "$" --> bug?

[Kaj Zilli <KZ...@skyva.com>]

Dear ant users,
I experiment to integrate VSS commands in ant tasks and therefore need
property values of the form "$\xyz\abc". I struggelt to define such, because
in the variable replace, the "$' was missing (e.g. "\xyz\abc").
 
A small change in the search pattern for the replace changed this (search
for "${" instead of "$"). I considered it a bug. what do you think?
 
If you agree please fix it.
 
Kaj
 
Here is my version of the ProjectHelper.java

Hi,
  You can get the effect you are after by using '$$' everywhere you want 
'$'.  It would be nice if this were documented.

\x/ill            :-}
