yeah, quite tricky. To be honest I haven't found much informationen 
concerning ant and the usage
of regexp (except the page you are refering to).

I see two solutions:

1) Digging the ant mailing lists and possibly subscribe to them. 
Wouldn't hurt ;-)

2) Write an Ant custom task, which is copying the publication specific 
java sources into
the build tree. This would allow us to throw out the regexp stuff ...

any other suggestions?

Thanks
