The echoxml task has an append attribute which seems useless to me. Since the children xml tags of the <echoxml> tag itself is used for echoing AND those children xml tags are part of the ANT build file too, they must be valid xml content. Therefore, every start tag must have a closing tag, including the root node. If you have to close the root node, then there is no way to append anything else. It is too late. Maybe I am supposed to enclose the children tags with CDATA??
Nope, I just tried that and got a ClassCastException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element I think that in order for this append attribute to work, this task must allow both XML elements AND XML text as children. I see no other way.
