Hello all, I would like to know if there is something that has been discussed/decided/voted about XML support. Obviously ant is heavily based on XML and some tasks are generating XML (and probably more and more in a near future) and this implies manipulating xml. And thus there is a need for simple things such as:
- importing nodes from one document to another. changeNodeOwner is com.sun.xml only and importNode is DOM L2. Workaround: Write the nth importNode for DOM L1. - XML serialization (at least a DOMWriter). Xerces provides such as support as well as crimson. Workaround: Write the nth DOMWriter. I agree that the optional tasks can use whatever jar they want, so should I follow this direction and choose the parser that suites me and that simplifies my coding when developing the optional task ? This is not a complain, this is just a situation that I would like to clarify so that I don't duplicate unecessary work and reinvent the wheel as well as hot water. Thanks. -- Stephane Bailliez, Paris - France
