My problem is to replace the build number in a Java source file. So I don't 
know the exact string to replace. I would like to have something like

<replace file="MyClass.java" token="BUILD_NUMBER = *;" value="BUILD_NUMBER = 
42;"/>

which would replace the old build number string(s) no matter what value it has.
