While I see the need for copying anonymous inner classes into the target directory directly from the 
Ant task, I cannot see why such a task would manage resources. Usually this is done by another task 
allowing filtering (or more complex tasks: replacing ,etc).
Afaik the only tool doing this automatically is the Eclipse builder (but I do not always agree this 
being a good solution. For example I have some properties file that go inside the final jar and they 
contain tokens to be replaced).

Surely the task is an easy one to be done, but I would like to clarify the needs before doing it. A 
solution that will be more configurable would be to present in the task another property 
(copyResources) to trigger this additional step. (I think I remember this option in AJ).

./the_mindstorm

PS: unfortunately I wasn't able to finish today the AspectWerkzCTask, but I hope tomorrow will be a 
more quiet day that will allow me to finish it.

PPS: while thinking of this I have remember at some point we have started a discussion about 
generating AOP-ish javadoc. I would like to re-start this in order to allow me to start working on 
it. What do you think?
