ANT and XSL

[Jakob Ramskov <co...@ramosa.com>]

Just curious, has anyone used XSL in conjunction with ANT build files, in any smart way? Could you enhance the build file, by transforming it first based on parameters, I don't know.

interesting proposition isn't it :P. I used a similar approach to produce
lower level GUI xml (either to IBMs BML or mozillas XUL) and it worked
fine. It did make debuggin a bitch thou - mainly because I wasn't very good
at XSLT :P

Cheers,

What a coincidence.  Since recently using XSLT for some work, I've been thinking that it could be useful with Ant.  Perhaps, the Ant applications could be defined in a more high level XML schema and then a XSLT transformation applied to get it to the specific Ant version requirements?
