Okay, having looked at this, including the source, 1)
AntForms needs to have its BaseType class extend
ProjectComponent and call
getProject().replaceProperties(text) whenever text is
added. But that doesn't help you. If you hate the
text box the <label> tag creates anyway, why don't you
bundle all the text you want into the title attribute
of the <antmenu>? You can get line breaks with the
property ${line.separator}. A handy trick is to,
early on, define a shorter property (I use "br"):
<property name="br" value="${line.separator}" />
Then you can do:
<antmenu title="Verify Employment History
Format${br}The current value of the
DESIRED_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_FORMAT constant
in the ResumeConstants class is:
${DESIRED_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_FORMAT}.${br}If that
value is satisfactory, press the
Proceed button.${br}If the value is wrong, press the
Abort button to stop the build.${br}
Then, edit the value of the property in the
ResumeConstants.java class and
run the build again."
stylesheet="${resume.xml.dir}\resume.style"
image="${resume.xml.dir}\maximal.orange.129x30.jpg">
<link label="Proceed" target="jar"/>
<link label="Abort" target="abort"/>
</antmenu>
something along those lines... you might put the title
in a file with a token defined where the variable part
goes, then load that file into a property filtering in
the property you've already set from your Java class,
just to make your poor task invocation look a little
more compact.
