Build file parse error messages wrong when including XML snippets.

           Summary: Build file parse error messages wrong when including XML
                    snippets.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5Beta3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jason_brittain@yahoo.com


In Ant 1.5Beta3 and below, whenever you include an XML snippet in a project
file like the FAQ shows here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/faq.html#xml-entity-include

It works fine, but if there's a parser error in the file I'm including,
or any task error that occurs in the file I'm including after parse time,
Ant incorrectly tells me that the error is in the file I included it in
(instead of in the included file).  This is a bug.

I'm attaching a patch of ProjectHelperImpl.java fixes this problem for both
parse errors and task errors.  I'm also attaching a patch for Ant 1.4.

This patch is already very well tested.  I'm attaching a tar.gz archive of
test case example build file sets along with their build output both before
and after this patch.
