hi. i'm getting back to this now, and saw that there were a few more
responses. to answer your question -- it's the latter. i've gone the xml
route. the problem is that i have many modules interacting to build a
project, and it's difficult, though not impossible, to do this with DOM,
as i am now. it's not the DOM that makes it hard -- but the lack of
typing, thus the desire to use the java objects, with their convenient
accessors and access to the current project structure and type safety.
ahh, you are in the "O/X mapping is soluble camp", I see.
You could use Xom and provide classes (and a builder) for the core Ant
things (project, target, core tasks) that map typed get/set to
attribute/element manipulation of the nodes. This is what I do in my
projects, and while it takes effort, it works well with XPath/Jaxen
