I tried it, but it’s more complicated than just a substitution.  It
could be a problem of the ant-build-system’s default “build.xml”, which
might not include do the right thing for resources.  I don’t know yet
what the right thing would be, and it’s just a guess.

Although I don’t like the ambiguity, I’d rather investigate this later
and keep the FIXME for now.  We’ll be able to detect problems with the
ant-build-system only once we have enough Java packages to actually
build big applications.
