it all looks fine. i've managed to resist the temptation to tinker too much (just yet ;) but i have renamed the directory from example1 to addressbook since i prefer descriptive names where possible. (i think that it makes it easier for users.)
don't worry too much about the build script, it not a priority. maybe it'd be a good idea to have a separate build.xml script in the examples directory.
i've been toying with the idea of using maven to create some kind of documentation based on the source plus html contained in the files but i don't have the time to do this right now.

Hi,
Recently there was a suggestion on the users email group that some digester examples would be helpful.
I felt this myself when starting to use digester.
So attached is a tar file containing a (proposed) initial example.
The tar file contains the tree:
examples api example1 **files here xmlrules
I suggest that this could all go under "src", so that there would be "src/java", "src/test" and "src/examples".
This would be consistent with the "httpclient" projects' directory structure.
I think that additional examples could usefully be added in future, hence the name "example1" for the dir containing the provided code.
Stuff that could be covered in later examples include: * FactoryCreateRule * NodeCreateRule * mapping of attribute names to bean properties (eg some-attr --> someAttr) when using setProperties et al.
This contribution is not entirely selfless :-). The existence of this examples directory also gives me somewhere to put "plugins" module examples if the "plugins" module is accepted [patch coming soon....]
NOTE: I haven't made any changes to the existing digester "build.xml" to either build or not build these new files. This would have to be done sometime I think.
Regards,
Simon
