Hello:

Attached please find a patch to the Ant manual to add an example of using an Ant task outside of Ant. I give a quickie example of how (with few lines of code) you can leverage the functionality/robustness/crossplatform/etc/ goodness of Ant in your own programs.

The particular example: I use XSLT to transform XML descriptors, and I needed a way to expand zip files that I encounter in my XML file. I show how you can leverage the Ant Expand task to do just that.

I put the example in a separate file that gets linked from the "Developing with Ant" section. Does anyone think this would be useful?

Regards,

--Craeg
