	xsltfile="..."
	filterpatterns="..."
	tofilterpatterns="..."
	debug="..."

Examples

 <apitooling.apiuse_reportconversion
  xmlfiles="/eclipse/apiuse-both/XML"
  htmlfiles="/eclipse/apiuse-both/HTML"
  xsltfile="/eclipse/references.xsl"

 />

This will run the task creating *.html files inside the folder /eclipse/apiuse-both/HTML corresponding to the folder structure of the XML file location

If debug is enabled, some debug tracing will show up in the Ant console.
