Re: is there an API to get a build file from an instance of Project
I wrote a simple routine to grab information from XML files and build a
new XML file.
I did this by
1. Setting up a header in a new file
2. Grabbing XML info from existing files
3. Appending the XML info to this new file
4. Adding on a trailer to the new file
Java makes it really simple to grab all information between tags and
add new info.
It would, however, be a nice touch if ant could build new build files.

Thanks,
This might solve some of my problems more elegantly than my current
solution, although it involves a little poking around with XSL.

Hi, Jim.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I have to stick to the API in order to produce a
visual tool for creating, modifying and running a build file and the problem
is in modifying it without loosing the comments. Creating my own API for xml
files will threaten the deadline badly. Guess I'll skip the modifying of the
xml now :(
Have a nice weekend. If I find something I can mail you if you want.

Why do you necessarily have to be wrong just because a few million people
think you are?
