This is offtopic from the macrodef change, but the xml-apis.jar seems to have mysteriously reverted to a much older one. Even recently it had been the one from Xerces-2.6.0. xercesImpl.jar *is* from 2.6.0, but xml-apis.jar is from back in 2002. It should be 122k and is only 106k right now. Better make sure that gets changed before the next beta.

I have committed the changes to change from ${x} to @{x} for macro attributes substitution.
Usage of macrodef is now as follows: <macrodef name="example"> <attribute name="x"/> <sequential> <echo>The attribute has the value '@{x}'</echo> </sequential> </macrodef>
This can be called as follows: <example x="a value"/>
The escape sequence @@{ may be used to escape the substitution:
<macrodef name="example"> <attribute name="x"/> <sequential> <echo>The attribute @@{x} has the value '@{x}'</echo> </sequential> </macrodef>
<example x="a value"/>
Will result in: [echo] The attribute @{x} has the value 'a value'
The mechanisms for substition are different for properties and macrodef attributes so one may now do the following:
<macrodef name="double">
<attribute name="prop"/>
<sequential>
<echo>@@{prop} is '@{prop}', value of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<property name="property" value="A property value"/>
<double prop="property"/>
resulting in: [echo] @{prop} is 'property', value of ${property} is 'A property value'
These changes will be available for the next ant 1.6 beta build.
