Nested xml in ant task

[Jim Fuller <ji...@ruminate.co.uk>]

Greetings all,

Is there the concept of an xml datatype in Ant with respect to creating
a newtask ?

<newtask>
	<some_xml_frag>
	<a atrib=""><b>
		.....etc.....etc.......
	</b></a>
	</some_xml_frag>
</newtask>

As illustrated I want to be able to nest any xml fragment within new
task, I think I may have seen something re Cocoon task...don't need to
marshal into dom or anything...perhaps a toString() method exists that
just returns NestedElement xml object, e.g. the xml as a string.

tia, Jim Fuller

Ant's CVS HEAD has something, but it will change shape before it
becomes part of any release:

<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/util/XMLFragment.java>

An example that uses it could be
<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ant/proposal/sandbox/dotnet/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/dotnet/AbstractBuildTask.java>
