Sorry, the code i posted above has some typos. Here's the correct one:


import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.tools.ant.Project;
import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
import org.apache.tools.ant.types.DataType;

public class MyTask extends Task {
  private List<String> things = new ArrayList<String>();

  public void execute() {
    for (String t : things)
       System.out.println (t);  
  }
  public void addThings(Things things) {
    for (Thing t : things.getThings())        
       this.things.add(t.getName());
  }
  public class Things extends DataType {
    private List<Thing> things = new ArrayList<Thing>();

    public List<Thing> getThings() {        
        return things;
    }    
    public void addThing (Thing f) {        
       things.add(f);    
    }  
  }  
  public class Thing extends DataType {
    private String name;    
    public void addText(String name) {
       Project p = getProject();        
       this.name = p.replaceProperties(name);
    }    

    public String getName() {
       return name;    
    }
  }

}

Thanks.

David
