As with all impossible tasks, someone has already undertaken it. Some French dude, I forget who. Look for "Ant DTD" in your favorite search engine. He outlines the problem with DTD's for Ant and gives a partial DTD that you can use. As for XML being cool ... yes. Very cool. Just as cool as jo-jo's were back when I was in highschool. Everyone had to have one. :-) That said, I cannot think of a better syntax for now. > > build.xml's are pretty simple once you understand xml > Just do it.
