I played a little bit ...

import java.io.BufferedReader;

        String section;
        
        @Override
        public void execute() throws BuildException {
                validate();
                BufferedReader rdr;
                try {
                        rdr = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
                        boolean needThisSection = false;
                        String line = rdr.readLine();
                        while (line!=null) {
