There seems a bug in <scriptdef> - it does not expand properties: <scriptdef name="test" language="jython"> <attribute name="name"/> #script print ">>>>>> name='"+str(attributes.get('name'))+"'" </scriptdef> <property name="test" value="--test--"/> <test name="${test}"/>
prints >>>>>> name='${test}' Do I need to do it manually? - Alexey. -- { http://trelony.cjb.net/ } Alexey N.

It's loosely based on something I wrote a while back for Mutant. Attached below is an example usage. I had to make a few small mods to the core to give me enough control over the configuration of the task and its nested elements. The example should make usage pretty straight forward. Attributes and nested elements are passed in two script variables, oddly named "attributes" and "elements". The first of these is a simple map of Strings whilst the second is a map of lists. One question I have is whether people feel this is something appropriate in Ant? Let me know your thoughts. Formal documentation to follow ...
