[oXygen-user] Using my own Ant build file in a DITA scenario

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Florent,

I tried your approach of having a build file like:

>  <project basedir="." name="test" default="init">
>   <import file="../projects/eXml/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/build.xml"/>
>   <property name="some.ot.prop" value="..."/>
>  </project>

I created an ANT scenario in Oxygen for it and after I added some 
necessary parameters to the scenario + libraries I managed to produce 
PDF also following this approach.

The "dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir" is defined in the main DITA OT 
build.xml:

> OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/build.xml

So there is no reason why it should not be found. In my test build.xml I 
set the default target to the one which is the default also for the DITA OT.

Regards,
Radu
