ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18537 I'd like to be able to have valid XML documents for inclusion according to FAQ Summary: I'd like to be able to have valid XML documents for inclusion according to FAQ Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: stephen@thecoopers.ws I like the FAQ way of breaking one large build.xml file into several smaller XML files and including them using an ENTITY reference. However, this means that the resulting build.xml fragment files (call them .xmlf files) are not valid XML files. This is because they contain several tags, i.e. there is no root tag. This further means that when editing the files using a validating XML editor, it reports all xmlf files as being in error, and an error on the build.xml file that includes the .xmlf files. I'd like to have a grouping XML tag, e.g. which can contain several tags, and otherwise have no effect. This way the .xmlf files can contain a root element and be valid xml documents that reference a DTD.
