<value> in <replacement> is trimmed (probably)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Version 1.5.2

In my pom I have 
<replacements>
 <replacement>
   <token>(\s+)NUMBER</token>
   <value> NUMERIC</value>
 </replacement>
...
</replacements>

Note the space before NUMERIC in the value tag.
Problem: when replacement occurs, the space is not appended.

Example:
"TEST_ID NUMBER" should be replaced by "TEST_ID NUMERIC", but is replaced by 
"TEST_IDNUMERIC".

I analysed the code of TokenReplacer and I did not find anything, so I am 
suspecting that the value is trimmed somewhere else. 
Probably it's even undocumented limitation of maven ???

Thanks, I'll have a look. However, I suspect it is maven functionality.

Cinikmarcin, this looks like the functionality of maven. 

Perhaps you could use the valueFile parameter and have a file that contains the 
spaces you need.
