Another possibility is to create a template file foo.xml.in and use copy
with substitutions:
--- foo.xml.in ----
<project>
<include>@file1@</include>
<include>@file2@</include>
</project>
--- build.xml ---
<copy from="foo.xml.in" to="foo.xml">
<filterset>
<filter token="file1" value="bar.as" />
<filter token="file2" value="baz.as" />
</filterset>
</copy>
<import file="foo.xml" />
I'm not sure if this would accomplish what you want.

Then use <echo> to write to write to the file.

Sorry, but this isn't going to work.
Both echo and echoxml escapes the brackets in the property that contains
XML.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the answer!
I do indeed need to include the <compc> tag in echoxml because without it
there is no root tag and so the xml is malformed.

I would try the following approach: (1) write the value to a file and
(2)
import the file back to the Ant script.
Perhaps something like this.
<echoxml file="foo.xml">
<include>bar.as</include>
<include>baz.as</include>
</echoxml>
...
<compc>
<import file="foo.xml"/>
</compc>
The <compc> </compc> might need to be included in the <echoxml>

Hi,
Is it possible to do this?
I have a property that contains two XML elements as a String:
<property name="foo"
value="<include>bar.as</include><include>baz.as
</include>"
/>
And I want it expanded into the execution of a task as if I wrote this:
<compc>
<include>bar.as</include>
<include>baz.as</include>
</compc>
I expected this to work:
<compc>
${foo}
</compc>
But I get the error:
The <compc> type doesn't support nested text data ("${foo}").
I'm assuming this isn't an error with "compc" but is instead in error
in
how
I'm expanding ${foo}.
Can I do this in Ant?
