## Class XMLFragment

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.util.XMLFragment

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, DynamicElementNS
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    EchoXML

      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
