oh, the coding of the diagnosis made me think of some other things
1. have tasks provide their own diags.
Imagine a static method with each class that provides some text (like URL for jars). Would this be accessible even if we couldnt instantiate an instance with a NoClassDefFoundException? I think it depends on whether there are static elements that need to have the external libs loaded.
2. We bail out if a class has an empty ctor and it throws an exception when we try and instantiate it (including IllegalAccessException. ). So you could not have a task
class Foo extends Task {private Foo() { }public Foo(Project p) { }}
because we'd bail out on the private constructor. Is this the right behaviour? Should we try for a ctor(Project) first, then ctor() signature second?
3. do we want this extra diagnosis in 'ant -diagnosis'? OR something like
ant -diagnosis taskname to trigger a task analysis (and nothing else)
i like that latter; good for command line troubleshooting.
