Why do you say "stay away from entities"? Are saying take away the ability for one XML document to declare and include another document/fragment? Or are you meaning the ability to define a piece of re-usable text? The term "entity" is often misused and used to mean many different things. So i will wait until you explain and provide reasons. I actually like Ken's proposal. It uses the power of XML to provide a very clean build configuration. It pulls the separate pieces together, rather than have one monolithic build.xml which has become cumbersome. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
