Include xml file in build.xml
Hi
To include an xml file I do the following:
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY repository SYSTEM "file:./repository.xml">
]>
&repository;
This works fine. But I include an xml file which is the same for all
projects and are stored at a central directory in the local filesystem.
My question is: Can I define the location of my file dependent dynamically.
For example, dependent on an environment variable?
Hope somebody can help me
Oliver

In the ant 1.6alpha, there is an import task which might suit your needs.
You may want to download it from this location

Marginally possible through catalogs, but may be tricky to set up.
What's wrong with "file:///central/dir/repository.xml"?
