We do this in our ant build files to include common targets and property 
settings. It happens when you invoke ant, and as far as I know (not having
set this up) the XML parser makes it happen:


<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY cadc-ant-start SYSTEM 
"file://usr/cadcdev/admin/compilers/setup.ant.java.start">
<!ENTITY cadc-ant-end SYSTEM 
"file://usr/cadcdev/admin/compilers/setup.ant.java.end">
]>

and then later on:

&cadc-ant-start;

<!-- some custom stuff here: classpath property, jars target for packaging, 
etc -->

&cadc-ant-end;
