[jdom-interest] XML variables

[Benjamin Kopic]

Why not use Entity References? As far as I know &name; is same as ${name}
You can declare entities in DocType object. The only difference is that you
can declare property anywhere you wish in a buildfile and with proper XML
you can only declare them in the DOOCTYPE section.
