Support in ProjectHelper / ProjectHelperImpl to operate on an InputStream

           Summary: Support in ProjectHelper / ProjectHelperImpl to operate
                    on an InputStream
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I would like to suggest that it would be a great addition to the 
ProjectHelper/ProjectHelperImpl if a method similar to the following was added:

public void parse(Project project, InputStream stream, String fileAbsolutePath).

This new entry point could be made to work with a some refactoring of the 
existing code and would allow parsing to occur on in memory working copy of a 
file (which we have in the Eclipse IDE).

Thanks
