[Robert S. <rso...@sa...>]

I just can't get any script with xmltask to run. I allways get an
exception:

Ant snippet:

    	<xmltask>   =20
    		<fileset dir=3D"${kiwi_dir}" includes=3D"**/*.xml"/>

		</xmltask>
	</target>

I am totally lost. Any ideas?

On re-reading this I think that XmlTask will write out .xml files
mirroring the source hierarchy, so you can maintain your structure of
xml files as per below. I think (but haven't tested this) that you can
set the toDir attribute and set source=3D"**/*.xml" or similar.
