OK. It is a good reason. My build system loads Ant project files from the disk, and I just adapt the code to load them from a JAR resources. I can say to you that such a code (set basedir, listener and project name) is working with both a File and a URL in my build system context as fas as the exception is not thrown in the ProjectHelper2: public static Project loadAntProject(Project currentProject, Object antproject) { ProjectHelper helper = (ProjectHelper) currentProject.getReference("ant.projectHelper"); Project project = new Project(); currentProject.initSubProject(project); // Copy listeners to enable logging Iterator listenerIt = currentProject.getBuildListeners().iterator(); while (listenerIt.hasNext()) { BuildListener bl = (BuildListener) listenerIt.next(); currentProject.log(" Adding listener " + bl, Project.MSG_DEBUG); project.addBuildListener(bl); } project.addReference("ant.projectHelper", helper); project.setBaseDir(currentProject.getBaseDir()); helper.parse(project, antproject); // Set project name AntXMLContext context = null; context = (AntXMLContext) project.getReference("ant.parsing.context"); project.setName(context.getCurrentProjectName()); return project; } Isn't it possible to remove the exception 'throw' statement and document the method to say that parsing a URL is at your own risk (I aggree to take it ;)) ? In fact, ProjectHelper2 is not opened enough (private attributes) to be inherited to change such a small part of code... Please help me, comment that part of code that never occurs finally (as far as import url is not implemented as your said) !
