Hmm, then I misunderstood http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/xmlproperty.html "Semantic Attributes ... id: The property is associated with the given id value." For me that sounds (and actually IMO makes awfully lot of sense) that if I use @id, the property will use this id as name. Then the java xml files from properties.loadFromXML(...) method will not work with the xmlproperty task either (let alone that they do not even have a @id), since they look like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd"> <properties> <entry key="plugin.TestPlugin">com.plugin.test.TestPluginModule</entry> <entry key="messages.TestPlugin">TestPluginMessages.properties</entry> </properties> Is there interest to have a java compatible xml properties task, if so I will likely need to write one for my current project and can submit a patch. Thanks for your answer Bruce. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
