AW: Question: How to add nested elements dynamically into an Ant task.

[Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de]

According to the xml spec nested tags (elements) can occur multiple times.
Therefore in Ant this is handled via addXXX(...) methods which usually store
the given element in a list. Then during execution that list is evaluated.

Only a few tasks regret mutliple occurances of nested elements. 
Havent tested it, but I think <macrodef> supports only one nested
<sequential>.

The tutorial could help here
