You should be able to modify the regexp you use for
source not to require the space, etc. so that the
pattern is maybe "^([^ ]*).*" or something. Then
source will be set regardless. You can set target as
you have been, then avoid the if block by simply
setting target to ${source}, relying on property
immutability. This could shrink what you've got a
little bit.
HTH,
