make a string lowercase
Is it possible to make a string lowercase (or uppercase)?
Something like ....
<lowercase var="myVar" property="newVar" />
${myVar} can be "Release", while after calling <lowercase>, ${newVar} will be set to "release".
Does something like this exist?
Thanks.

Just use embedded scripting support. So no addons are required.

Rather simple is also
<property name="newVar" value="${ myVar.tolower }" />
which you would get by enabling Flaka's [1] property helper.
Also checkout [2] for many other 'String' properties and functions
working on (String) objects. For example, you could also utilize
Java's Formatter [3] capabilities for additional conversion mechanics,
like shown here for creating the 'uppercase' property:
<property name="newVar" value="${ format('%S', myVar) }" />
An upcoming version of Flaka will allow you to define your very own functions.

The simplest is to use Antelope tasks: http://antelope.tigris.org/nonav/docs/manual/bk03ch13.html
That URL shows using the lowercase task in the very first example.
