The word "reuse" triggers one thought: datatypes.
Would that work in your situation?

I am working on a series of ant tasks each of which requires a significant amount of external configuration via XML files. Since parsing an XML file is somewhat expensive I thought that perhaps I should keep the java rendering of that XML configuration around so that when the task is run again the XML doesn't need to be reparsed. Naturally I thought of creating a singleton repository for the configuration info, but since Singletons have the reputation for being evil I am wondering if there is a sanctioned Ant way of holding on to external resources which may be reused and are expensive to acquire.
