--- Comment #6 from George Bateman <[email protected]> --- Re PS: https://ant.apache.org/bugs.html asks users to use Bugzilla for enhancement requests. (Section “Asking for an Enhancement”.) Otherwise I would have used a mailing list in the normal way. Matt's suggestion of using nested text in the <arg> element to provide long values is a good one, but the issue of how to collapse whitespace is a hard one. How, for example, does the user specify argument values which contain newlines, and whitespace immediately before and after newlines? I still don't much like the idea of using properties as proposed by Jan; having defined variables part1, part2, part3 for the first long argument in a project, you then need partA1, partA2, partA3, for the next, and so on. In any case, thank you for discussing the issue and suggesting the various solutions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
