Yes as the classloader will find the ant-jsch.jar iin $ANT_HOME/lib
and try to load the jsch code from there. I moved it to a different
location and <csp> worked fine - I expected the same behaviour with
<mail>, but instead I've had some problems.
<looking at the code and the ant 1.7.0 jars files>
The ant-email.jar file does not contain the mail task. <mail> is
not an "optional" task. and is located in ant.jar, however if mime
types are used, the EmailTask code will attempt to load MimeMailer
(which is in ant-email.jar) by doing the following:
mailer = (Mailer) ClasspathUtils.newInstance(
"org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer",
EmailTask.class.getClassLoader(), Mailer.class);
Which seems a bit pointless from a deployment point of view, but it
does allow the EmailTask to get compiled without depending on
javamail.jar in the classpath.
This means that the moving ant-email.jar from $ANT_HOME/lib will
not work.
The EmailTask code could be modified to allow a classpath element to be used
to load the MimeMailer class (with junittask like classloader tricks),
but in the meantime,
one can use the cl:classloader task.
