TallowTask source code

We need tallow task to generate a template wxs from a binary distribution to easy the burden to create wxs from hand. Such as

<dn:tallow target="product.wxs" source="product"/>

Based on WixTask.java, I created TallowTask.java to add this extra bit, I have tested it on my own project, the source code and html file are attached.

Comment 4 zhihengz 2009-05-06 09:02:02 UTC
One minor issue, need add following task definition in
/src/main/org/apache/ant/dotnet/antlib.xml

<taskdef name="tallow" classname="org.apache.ant.dotnet.wix.WixTask"/>

so we can refer it as 
<dn:tallow/>
