I was looking at eclipse ant integration, and discovered on interesting bug.
It seems eclipse has a security manager enabled. That means tasks that have security checks will perform them - and if they are loaded by ant class loader, the test will fail, since our loader doesn't associate a CodeBase with the loaded classes. I also had problems with Jasper - when starting tomcat from ant. Since we are now JDK1.2, I would like to make our class loader extend URLClassLoader. I'll have some free time next week, and if nobody objects I'll make the change. Costin
