All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, DynamicElementNS

Direct Known Subclasses:

public class XMLFragment
extends ProjectComponent
implements DynamicElementNS

Use this class as a nested element if you want to get a literal DOM fragment of something nested into your task/type.

This is useful for tasks that want to deal with the "real" XML from the build file instead of objects.

Code heavily influenced by code written by Dominique Devienne.
