Ant won't help you particularly, though you can probably do this in Ant. Your build file would need to

• unpack the WAR files,
• copy the relevant bits into a temporary tree,
• add in customized properties files and modified versions of the original files, and finally
• create new WAR file or files.

If the WAR files are built using Maven, you can use Maven WAR file overlays to either:

• apply customizations to WAR files, or
• merge multiple WARs into a single WAR.
