Scoped variables in macrodefs using entity includes.

[Davy Toch]

Just wanted to share our (temporary) solution we currently use to have 
scoped variables in macrodefs. Not ideal, but it currently works.

build.xml:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
 <!ENTITY uid "be.steria.ant.addon.0.3.base">
]>
<project basedir="." name="&uid;" default="test">

 <import file="macrodef.xml"/>

 <target name="test">
   <property name="&uid;.test" value="zzz"/>
   <echo>&uid;.test : ${&uid;.test}</echo>
   <test-macrodef test="${&uid;test}"/>
 </target>

</project>

macrodef.xml

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
 <!ENTITY uid "be.steria.ant.addon.0.3.test">
]>
<project basedir="." name="&uid;">

 <macrodef name="test-macrodef">
   <attribute name="test"/>
   <sequential>
     <property name="&uid;.test" value="yyy"/>
     <echo>&uid;.test : ${&uid;.test}</echo>
   </sequential>
 </macrodef>

</project>
