Maven store MD5 checksum of file and file size in properties then filter another file - maven

Question

I am wondering if there is a way in Maven to calculate the MD5 checksum and size of a file, put them into properties then use those properties to filter (text replace) parameters in another file. I am trying to generate a config file for Advanced Installer before I run it.

After spending a while googling for ways to do it with Maven I decided to look into using the antrun plugin. I googled for both features and the first link of both solved the problem. Seems like antrun is a great way to script most things in Maven.
My antrun configuration:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8</version>
<configuration>
<exportAntProperties>true</exportAntProperties>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>
<property name="my_path" value="some path"/>
<length file="${my_path}" property="file.size"/>
<checksum file="${my_path}" property="file.md5"/>
</target>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Maven resources plugin config:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.7</version>
<configuration>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<includes>
<include>file1</include>
<include>file2</include>
</includes>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>resources</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Which works great from the command line but for some reason the properties are not resolved in Intellij. I've posted another question for that.
