Do you really need to create a new build file or would providing a property-file together with the generic build-file be sufficient?

I have a template buildfile for web-applications which includes all the steps from exporting an app-version from a cvs-repository to deploying it to my appserver. Now I like to have a task in another buildfile which takes this template an exchanges some values for my webapp, for example <project name=3D"<ant.project.name>" default=3D"package" basedir=3D= "."> should become ... <project name=3D"MyWebApp" default=3D"package" basedir=3D"."> (the string "MyWebApp" comes from a property-file) and <mail ... subject=3D"${ant.mail.subject} ${ant.project.name} ${ant.project.version} ${ant.build.success}" (no change needed) message=3D"http://${deployment.server}:8080/<app.context>" ... /> should become ... <mail ... subject=3D"${ant.mail.subject} ${ant.project.name} ${ant.project.version} ${ant.build.success}" message=3D"http://${deployment.server}:8080/mywebapp"; ... /> (the string <app.context> comes from new String("MyWeb=App").toLowerCase ()) I also don't want to loose the formatting of my buildfile and keep all = the comments in the resulting document. I tried this using the style-task but had problems getting my comments into the resulting document and further don't know how to convert a str= ing toLowerCase() in xslt. Should I use another task or write my own one using jdom? Any ideas, hints, tips to achieve this are very much appreciated. thanks Toni **************************************************** MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG Anton Grimm Abt.
