You can use macro elements to define abbreviations
for commonly used strings in the XML file, such as the com.sybase.jaguar.component prefix used
in most component property names. macro elements
have optional begin and end attributes
to specify the delimiters. If you do not specify them, the default
begin and end delimiters are ${ and },
respectively. The macro element can contain one or more definition elements
to specify the macro abbreviations, for example:
<macro begin="${" end="}">
<definition name="comp" value="com.sybase.jaguar.component"/>
<definition name="desc" value="com.sybase.jaguar.description"/>
</macro>
