Re: newbie: Now to append newline.

 echo file=${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt append=true
 /echo

OK, this doesn't work because of XML's notion of ignorable
whitespace.  We could fix that by supporting the xml:space attribute
as described in the XML spec
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#sec-white-space, but an
easier solution to the specifc problem is:

echo file=${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt 
  append=true
  message=${line.separator} /

which will always append the newline character appropriate for the
current operating system.  Alternatives go along the lines of

echo file=${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt 
  append=true
  message=#13;#10; /

for a carriage-return line-feed sequence.

How about enclosing it in CDATA tags?

E.g., 
echo ![CDATA[

]]/echo

?

Cheers,

I thought it should work, but when I tried it, it didn't append
anything.

echo file=${classes.dir}/properties/release.txt append=true
/echo

and make sure that there is no space after the opening or in front of
the closing tag.
