Hi,
thanks for the pointer, didn't notice about the possibility
to append to a variable property via antcontrib <var> task.
so i tried with =
<project name="bla" default="main" basedir=".">
<!-- Import AntContrib -->
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" />
<target name="depends">
<var name="bla" value="Firstline"/>
<var name="bla" value="${bla}${line.separator}Second Line"/>
<var name="bla" value="${bla}${line.separator}Third Line"/>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="depends">
<echo>$${bla} =
${bla}
</echo>
</target>
</project>
gives me
[echo] ${bla} =
[echo] Firstline
[echo] Second Line
[echo] Third Line
not exactly what i want, but it's a step in the right direction.
If there's no other solution i'll go with that until i have the time
to roll my own buffer.
Regards, Gilbert

Well, this idea may seem like a hack, but perhaps it'll work for you.
You can use the ant-contrib library <var> task
(http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/variable_task.html),
which is like a mutable ant property. You could use it such you
constantly append data to it, using some kind of a seperator as you
append to make it easier to break it down when you're done.
