AW: Divide And Conquer Ant Question

I would externalize (huge amounts of) macrodefs in their own files. a) into a buildfile and re that b) into an antlib.xml and use xmlns declarations. my.jar!/org/my/antlib.xml build.xml (having my.jar on the classpath) Additional note: Lets say you have a larger hierarchy "A imports
