I would do it like this (however, other solutions must exist and could be
better, this is just my way)

load the properties file using

        <property file="ui.properties"/>

now you can access the value of you build-date property this way

        ${build-date}

then you can use replaceregexp to change the value of the version_Date
variable within the java file

        <replaceregexp  file="javaFile">
                <regexp pattern="String version_Date=(.*?);"/>
                <substitution expression="String
version_Date=&quot;${build-date}&quot;;"/>
        </replaceregexp>


This way could work, I think you can easily adapt it to you case.
