That wouldn't work on my linux box right? I switch between a windows 
machine at work and my linux laptop frequently, so i initially added an 
entry in my build properties:

# controls the path seperator to use in regexp mappers,
# use "/" on unixish systems and "\\\\" on wonblows (no quotes)
mapper.dir.seperator=\\\\

and used it like

<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)${mapper.dir.seperator}(.*).xml"

However, Peter Reilly's way removes the need to maintain a property and 
allows the use of handledirsep by just nesting the mappers:

<task.that.allows.mapper.but.not.regexp.or.other>
   <mapper>
      <regexpmapper handledirsep="true" from="(.*)/(.*).xml" 
to="\1/web/\2Form.java" />
   </mapper>
</task.that.allows.mapper.but.not.regexp.or.other>

Thanks all.
