I'm very happy about this answer. However I can't completely figure out what
I'm doing wrong compared to your description. I've attached my build.xml to
this mail, and would appreciate very much if you could give me a hint on how
to work around this:
---8<---
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Could not create task of type: transform because I can't find it in the list
of task class definitions
---8<---
