# classes/phing/types/Description.php

Description is used to provide a project-wide description element (that is, a description that applies to a buildfile as a whole).

If present, the <description> element is printed out before the target descriptions.

Description has no attributes, only text. There can only be one project description per project. A second description element will overwrite the first.
