Haven't looked into the code recently so this is mostly a high-level idea,

class GeronimoApplicationXml < Rake::FileTask
   def initialize(*args) #:nodoc:
      super
      enhance do |task|
        // do you stuff
        File.open(task.name, "wb") { |file| file.write content }
      end
    end
  ...
end

class Buildr::Project
  def geronimo_application_xml()
    ear = package(:ear)
    descriptor = GeronimoApplicationXml.define_task(project.path_to(:target,
...), ear)
    ear.enhance [ descriptor ]
    ear.enhance do |zip|
      zip.include descriptor, :path => "..."
    end
  end
end

so in your projects where you need to generate the descriptor, you only need
to call geronimo_application_xml.   Should be easy to turn into a plugin.

Hope this helps,
alex
