Maven replacer plugin

[Pankaj <pa...@rediffmail.com>]

I want to replace the code snippet between two custom tag (@Start, @End) with
empty tag. 

public class MyClass{
private String name;
private String age;

@Start
private String address;
private String phoneNumber;
@End

}
These tags are available in multiple files.

Is it possible using maven ? I was looking at
http://code.google.com/p/maven-replacer-plugin/
which is used for replacing text/value, i don't think this can be used for
replacing content. am i right ?

Regards
Pankaj

Thanks a lot Karl. I could get it working using replacer plugin with below
token
  
<configuration>
             <file>xyz.java</file>
              <token>@Start.*@End</token>
              <value>-value-</value>
              <regex>true</regex>
</configuration>

As you mentioned correctly, i'm stuck with copying file, it's ok for me to
copy under base directory, i tried using  buildhelper-maven-plugin but
didn't work for me. Here is the plugin which i used


<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.7</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>add-source</id>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>add-source</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <sources>
                <source>${basedir}\publicSrc\mySrc</source>
              </sources>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin> 

Don't we have to tell maven about source path or does it take by default
from src/main/java ? In my case, publicSrc folder itself is not getting
created where as i'm expecting all of java file which is under src/main/java
to be under publicSrc/mySrc. Is there anything wrong with my configuration ?

Why not. Put the replacer plugin into the generate-sources or 
process-sources phase and it should be working. The only problem you 
have to which location you put the changed files and get them compiled. 
May be you can use the buildhelper-maven-plugin to add a different 
location afterwards (for example target/replaced-files)


Kind regards
