snip is an Ant task designed to help with the
single-sourcing of program documentation. This
task extracts snippets of text from files, placing
them into properties in the Ant project. These
properties can then be used by any other Ant task,
and are particularly useful when referenced by
<filter>s within the <copy> task. It
was originally written to keep snippets of sample
code in API documentation synchronized with the
actual sample classes by automatically extracting
code from the samples when the project is built.
