My idea is reading the SGML file using some filterchains and regexps for extracting the DTD-name. But I dont know any way to inject that into <apply>.
So the workaround here is iterating over the <srcfile> for yourself - antcontrib: for, foreach - loop using script (bsh, groovy, javascript) inside the buildfile Jan > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Graydon Saunders [mailto:graydon...@gmail.com] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 1.
