Hi,

I am having some difficulties with XML entities. All I want is to use 
this task to rewrite a few XML files and expand the entities. I got this 
working without any problems using the task:

<xmltask
                source="a.xml"
                dest="c.xml"
                expandEntityReferences="true"
                encoding="UTF-8"
                indent="true" />

where a.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
  <!ENTITY b SYSTEM ".\b.xml">
]>
<root>
    &b;
</root>

If I reference this build file from another build file, it fails:

<ant antfile="ant/buildforms.xml" useNativeBasedir="true" />

Presumably because  &b; is defined in a.xml using a relative path. 
Surely this should be relative to the XML file itself and not the build 
file? I have turned on useNativeBasedir, surely useNativeBasedir should 
prevent this from being an issue? It seems that when using a relative 
path to define an entity it always looks relative to the basedir of the 
highest build file, not the current basedir or the XML file in question 
- is this the correct behaviour?

thanks!

james
