<macrodef name="hello">
<attribute name="msg" default="world" />
<sequential>
<echo>hello, @{msg}</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<presetdef name="hello-there">
<hello msg="there" />
</presetdef>
<script language="beanshell">
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MacroInstance;
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
task = project.createTask("hello-there"); // error
</script>
This will throw a
java.lang.ClassCastException
at
org.apache.tools.ant.ComponentHelper.createNewTask(ComponentHelper.java:462)
here
private Task createNewTask(String taskType) throws BuildException {
Class c = getComponentClass(taskType);
if (c == null || !(Task.class.isAssignableFrom(c))) {
return null;
}
Task task = (Task) createComponent(taskType); //=>
ComponentHelper.java:462
if (task == null) {
return null;
}
task.setTaskType(taskType);
// set default value, can be changed by the user
task.setTaskName(taskType);
project.log(" +Task: " + taskType, Project.MSG_DEBUG);
return task;
}
It works for "normal" macros.

Re: how to access a MacroDef?
Since macro defs are tasks, it would be better to use the
project.createTask() method, and not try to use the
internal (although exposed trough the public classes and methods)
mechanizes of Ant.
<macrodef name="atest">
<sequential>
<echo>This is the atest macro</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<script language="beanshell">
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MacroInstance;
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
atest = project.createTask("atest");
if (! (atest instanceof MacroInstance)) {
throw new BuildException("atest is not a macro");
}
atest.execute();
</script>
It would be necessary to call setOwningTarget as project.createTask()
does not know the current target.
