Hmmmm .... a simple
<project>
<echo> @ </echo>
</project>
works for me ...
In <macrodef> you have to mask the @ sign because it's starting the reference
to an attribute name.
<macrodef name="">
<attribute name="foo"/>
<sequential>
<echo> @{foo} prints value of attribute foo </echo>
<echo> @@ prints simple at-sign </echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
