I am looking into an implementation of implicit nested elements for macrodef:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25633 and http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27569
The useage is like this;
<macrodef name="showfiles">
<attribute name="property"/>
<element name="files" implicit="yes"/>
<sequential>
<pathconvert property="@{property}" pathsep=":">
<path>
<files/>
</path>
</pathconvert>
<echo message="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<showfiles property="x">
<fileset dir="." includes="*.xml"/>
</showfiles>
</target>
The implementation does however involve a small Backward Incompatible change to the
implementation of MacroInstance.
It would affect java code that used MacroInstance.createDynamicElement().
The implementation involves splitting DynamicConfiguator interface into two interfaces,
DymanicAttribute and DynamicElement.
MacroInstance then implements DynamicAttribute and TaskContainer.
The implemention is not complete yet (needs doc's and unit-tests).
