the full dom representation is extrememly complex to use. There are alternatives (namely JDom @www.jdom.org and Configuration from Avalon project). JDom is more expressive than than Ant currently uses and Configuration has a 1-to-1 mapping of features. >Although you >probably won't want to include all the items on my >wish list, I'd like to at least get them communicated >to you to make you aware of the GUIs needs (which >should overlap with the needs of many other modules).
