Sort of like this one?
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/xmlproperty.html
Thats a new task in Ant 1.5. Could you compare/contrast your work with this
tasks capabilities and perhaps get your work merged in with it if it
provides additional features?
The <property> task is so overloaded now that it was thought best to make it
a separate task rather than adding one more feature to it.
