| XInclude allows a user to import or include other XML files into one xml file. |
| It is used primarily with documentation file formats like Docbook and DITA. It |
| allows for separating out large xml documents into more manageable chunks of information. |

| The XSL Tools project includes an ANT task that can be run with in eclipse, eclipse |
| headless, and without eclipse at all. If running outside of eclipse, you will need |
| to make sure that the jar file xinclude.jar in the org.eclipse.wst.xsl.core.jar file |
| is made avaiable on your class path. |
