Is the task you are talking about available, or is it the 'embed' proposal the is referred
to at the wiki?
Because I couldn't find the jxpath: property implementation I have implemented a
workaround. In the init antlet, I have translated the module.xml to an ant build that
contains the right properties and their xpath value (see module2properties in the init
antlet).

This solution would probably even better to use to transform the properties.xml to remove
all nodes that are tagged with the wrong environment attribute or something.

Thnx for the idea. I'll try to come up with a sample.
