Ok I know it is not cleaned - regarded the Ant task development guidelines. I'm working on 'el4ant' (sourceforge) and I need some extract features in Ant for my build.xml generation from project description works smoothly. I have "misuse" Ant to parse my project description XML files and it is really convenient in fact ;) My question may be simpler: - How can I copy tasks and types from one Ant project to another ? It is simple to do that with properties. I suppose it is not impossible to do that with tasks/types. I just ask for help to avoid to "waste" time into Ant internals hacking... but I will do it in case of non response.
