Ant property with multiple values each on separate line -

i have property has contain long list of strings , improve readability define each value (that quite long) in separate line, like:

<property name="items" separator=",">    <item>a</item>    <item>b</item> </property>

as equivalent to

<property name="items" value="a,b" />

or similar <path> + <pathconvert> not expanding paths.

is possible ?

turns out there string resources , generic resource container:

<resources id="items">   <string>a</string>   <string>b</string> </resources> <pathconvert property="items" refid="items" pathsep="," />
