Righto. Though I gather Peter wants to use Configurations to represent Ant2
build trees, and might need nsprefixed attributes for "aspects":
<target name="namespace-test">
<!-- ant and doc are built in namespaces -->
<echo ant:fail-on-error="true" message="Some random message">
<doc:description>
Test case for aspects
</doc:description>
<ant:some-element some-attribute="blah"/>
</echo>
<!-- load facility for blee: namespace -->
<facility namespace="blee">
<noop/>
</facility>
<echo blee:some-param="blah" message="Blee namespace test successful!"/>
</target>
(Taken from jakarta-ant/proposal/myrmidon/src/make/sample.ant)
But I don't follow ant-dev closely, and I've likely misunderstood something.
