<xmlproperty>

The <xmlproperty> task gives you the ability to load properties from an XML file. Conversion is simple. The element <project><build>src</build></project> is equivalent to project.build=src. With element attributes, the translation is dependent on the collapseattributes attribute. If true, element attributes are treated as nested elements. Hence, <project build="src"> is equivalent to the previous examples. If false, the same example would result in the project(build) property being set to src.
