Re: nested elements in antlibs

Opps, you are correct.
I was using my anti-xml-hell patch
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=107763945224538&w=2

you need to do the following silliness:

<antlib>
  <presetdef name="myls" xmlns:c="ant:current">
    <apply executable="ls">
      <c:arg value="-l"/>
    </apply>
  </presetdef>
</antlib>

see:

Perfect solution, thanks!  --that was the patch that
mimics the original behavior, right?
