Besides the simple types (strings, integer, booleans) you can use in the
parameters of tasks, there are more complex Phing Types
. As
mentioned above, they are passed to a task by using nesting tags:
<task> <type /> </task> <!-- or: --> <task> <type1> <subtype1> <!-- etc. --> </subtype1> </type1> </task>
Note that types may consist of multiple nested tags -- and multiple levels of nested tags, as you can see in the second task call above.
