    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.

Since:
  Ant 1.7
