Hello,
the size of xml file with commented element (<!-- element></element
-->) continuously increases when the xmltask writes to it.
At first write it rewrites the < to < and the > to > inside the commented
elements (<!-- -->) then at next writes it always changes the & to & ,
which increases the size of xml.
Does anybody observed this behaviour of xmltask? Is it a known issue? Does
exist some trick to fix it?
You can reproduce the problem with the below provided ANT build.xml, which
modifies the file.xml.
Thanks, Gabo.
