Any project element can be assigned an identifier using its +id attribute. In most cases the element can subsequently +be referenced by specifying the refid attribute on an +element of the same type. This can be useful if you are going to +replicate the same snippet of XML over and over again--using a +<classpath> structure more than once, for example.

All tasks that use nested elements for +PatternSets, +FileSets, +ZipFileSets or +path-like structures accept references to these structures +as shown in the examples. Using refid on a task will ordinarily +have the same effect (referencing a task already declared), but the user +should be aware that the interpretation of this attribute is dependent on the +implementation of the element upon which it is specified. Some tasks (the +property task is a handy example) +deliberately assign a different meaning to refid.
