Yes, it's true, I didn't know this library ;))

Thank you very much, the lib is really cool, for sure I will use it and
forget the task I made.

But I have a question, why these tasks are not in the external tools and
tasks list? (well, at least I can't see it)

bye

ps: luckily the class implementation didn't take me long time ;)

It seems that you don�t know the Ant-Contrib library and the <foreach> task?
