------- Additional Comments From antoine@apache.org  2004-12-29 23:38 -------
<echoproperties/> is not appropriate to generate resource bundles for the
translate task.

Property files contain escape sequences in values, and they have all non ascii
characters represented as \u escapes. Resource bundles can be encoded in any
encoded and are not limited to ascii values.

you can use the echo or the concat task to create your resource bundle if you
know in advance the properties you want to replace.

try this
<echo file="${dist}/ant/ant.properties">
#generated resource bundle
TOMCAT.GLOBAL.JDBC.DRIVER=${TOMCAT.GLOBAL.JDBC.DRIVER}
# other properties you need
TOMCAT.DATABASE.NAME=${TOMCAT.DATABASE.NAME}
</echo>

instead of <echoproperties/>
I am closing your bug report as invalid.

Cheers,
Antoine
