Answer 1

If you don't want to copy files and just replace a string in the current folder where your files reside, do a reflexive task:

<reflexive>
    <fileset dir=".">
        <include pattern="*.js" />
    </fileset>
    <filterchain>
        <replaceregexp>
            <regexp pattern="SEARCH" replace="REPLACEMENT"/>
        </replaceregexp>
    </filterchain>
</reflexive>
