    Parameters:
      `action` - The action to execute when the XML has been created
    Returns:
      this

  - ### readFrom

    DeploymentDescriptor readFrom(Reader reader)
    Reads the deployment descriptor from a reader.
    Parameters:
      `reader` - The reader to read the deployment descriptor from
    Returns:
      this

  - ### readFrom

    boolean readFrom(Object path)
    Reads the deployment descriptor from a file. The paths are resolved as defined by `Project.file(Object)`
    Parameters:
      `path` - The path of the file to read the deployment descriptor from
    Returns:
      whether the descriptor could be read from the given path

  - ### writeTo

    DeploymentDescriptor writeTo(Writer writer)
    Writes the deployment descriptor into a writer.
    Parameters:
      `writer` - The writer to write the deployment descriptor to
    Returns:
      this

  - ### writeTo

    DeploymentDescriptor writeTo(Object path)
    Writes the deployment descriptor into a file. The paths are resolved as defined by `Project.file(Object)`
    Parameters:
