Constructor Detail

### MacroDef

    public MacroDef()

Method Detail

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)

  Name of the definition

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the definition

### addConfiguredText

    public void addConfiguredText(MacroDef.Text text)

  Add the text element.

  Parameters:
    `text` - the nested text element to add
  Since:
    ant 1.6.1

### getText

    public MacroDef.Text getText()

  Returns:
    the nested text element

### setBackTrace

    public void setBackTrace(boolean backTrace)

  Set the backTrace attribute.

  Parameters:
    `backTrace` - if true and the macro instance generates an error, a backtrace of the location within the macro and call to the macro will be output. if false, only the location of the call to the macro will be shown. Default is true.
  Since:
    ant 1.7

### getBackTrace

    public boolean getBackTrace()

  Returns:
    the backTrace attribute.
  Since:
    ant 1.7

### createSequential

  Returns:
    the nested Attributes

### getElements

    public java.util.Map getElements()

  Gets this macro's elements.

  Returns:
    the map nested elements, keyed by element name, with `MacroDef.TemplateElement` values.

### isValidNameCharacter

    public static boolean isValidNameCharacter(char c)
