Thanks very much.
I am working my way through the docs, and I could also use some additional
support if possible.
I am looking at a build.xml file with some parts such as these:
<project name="YaCy" default="all" basedir=".">
<description>
YaCy - a Peer to Peer Web Search Engine
</description>
<!--
I was curious, how does Ant use information such as this, for example a
project name? Is this information used in the build?
<!-- defining the timestamp format -->
<tstamp>
<format property="REPL_DATE_FORMAT" pattern="yyyymmdd" />
</tstamp>
And is this just a way of defining a variable in XML, called "tstamp"?
Which of "format" and "property" are specific xml commands vs. just
attributes being named?
Thanks very much,
Julius
