--- 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.
