[PATCH] PropertyFile pattern is not returned in exact format

           Summary: [PATCH] PropertyFile pattern is not returned in exact
                    format
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5 alpha (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: peterj@liberate.com


In certain cases, a pattern in PropertyFile (actually just a DecimalFormat) is
not returned in the exact format provided.  In particular, the returned string
can be longer than the specified pattern, e.g. if the value "99" is incremented
with pattern "00", the returned string is "100".

I've patched this to return the rightmost substring of the value if it's a)
positive; b) longer than the provided pattern; and c) the pattern is completely
numeric.  It's nominally a change in functionality, but has a workaround
(specify a pattern with "#" instead of "0" and you'll get the original behaviour).
