I'm not up on the XDoclet API fully yet, so I can't really say for sure, but
that seems reasonable at first glance.
Does that mean I'd still have to write a subtask class to get a plain
template to recognize the configuration parameters? Shouldn't a bare bones
template task be able to take advantage of config parameters too?
Thanks - all of you rock, I'm psyched about XDoclet, especially given the
superb and responsive developer community it has.
