>From what I can tell, apparently the parser doesn't let you have two
hyphens in a row without them being the two that precede the greater-than
symbol (ie, any two hyphens in a row have to be the beginning of the
comment-close [which seems pretty funky to me]). For example, this chokes:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test" default="noop">
<!--
+-------------------------+
This is a comment block
+-------------------------+
-->
<target name="noop"/>
</project>
$ ant -f comment.xml
Buildfile: comment.xml
BUILD FAILED
D:\comment.xml:4: Next character must be ">" terminating comment .
Total time: 0 seconds
This doesn't:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test" default="noop">
<!--
+=========================+
This is a comment block
+=========================+
-->
<target name="noop"/>
</project>
