Task to search and replace in all .classpath files [message #1818806]

After importing all projects with Oomph, I want to run a m2e update classpath task and subsequently adjust the classpath files to compile to bin / bin-test rather then target/classes.
Usually I'd do this with an m2e plugin but that's not possible with tycho given https://github.com/tesla/m2eclipse-tycho/pull/45 is not yet available.

Is it possible with Oomph default setup tasks to do a search and replace for all occurrences of target/classes in all .classpath files in a workspace?

There is a Text Modify task that can be used to modify the resource's contents, but there is no mechanism for creating/performing n occurrences of such a task or of any task.

I could work on something that supports regex patterns (cf java.nio.file.FileSystem.getPathMatcher(String) ) in the URI. Would that be interesting as a core functionality of Oomph?

I suppose that if the TextModify task had a boolean to indicate that the URL is a "pattern" then internal to the implementation one could have a getURLs() and the other stuff (isNeeded/perform) could all be done in a loop...

But I would have to maintain it forever. :-P
