I cannot be sure, but it seems that the procedure for building optional tasks has migrated away from what it used to be. I am trying to build 1.5.2 from the sources and unzipping the sources no longer creates a lib/optional directory. However, the lib/optional directory is still needed even though I couldn't find anywhere within the documentation that jars needed for optional tasks should be placed there in order to be built into the optional.jar.
Finally, the Library Dependencies section of http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html still states that for the ftp and telnet tasks, netcomponents.jar must be downloaded from www.savarese.org/oro/downloads. However, the code of the ant tasks has been changed to use commons-net-1.0.0.jar for these tasks, which is now obtainable from http://jakarta.apache.org/commons.net/download.html. While I haven't tried the manual's way, I doubt it will work since the ant code now uses the new commons-net package names. ----------------------------------------------- Steve Cohen Sr. Software Engineer Sportvision Inc.
