FYI, Ant v2.x is supposedly going to support multiple input formats, not
just XML.

Also... Alas, XML-Spy is not open source.  Having to buy a $400 license
tool to be able to effectively/efficiently/etc. use Ant is, IMVHO, a very
odd argument.  Of course, if you have to have something like XML-Spy
because you've gotten sucked into using so many things that require such a
tool.... :-)


ObAntlr:  Anyone up for designing and building a good "makefile" language
and a translator from that to e.g., Ant?

Take care,
