I could also add a delimiter attribute ... but I think you cant wait for a next Ant release. So the only thing would be building for yourself ...
BTW: sources are directly viewable on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/XmlProperty.java ;) Right. There are some private methods and subclassing isnt an option and duplicating seems to be the "easiest" way. Without any checks ... 1. add the delimiter attribute private String delimiter = ","; // default for backwards compatibility getter + setter 2. change method private void addProperty (String name, String value, String id) if (addedAttributes.containsKey(name)) { ... - value = (String) addedAttributes.get(name) + "," + value; + value = (String) addedAttributes.get(name) + getDelimiter() + value; 3. Save under another name "mytasks.XmlProperty.java" 4. Compile 5. Use with <taskdef name="myxmlproperty" classname="mytasks.XmlProperty" classpath="..."/> <myxmlproperty delimiter=";" ... /> What is the usecase for having an alternative delimiter?
