http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43040 Summary: Ant Manual needs to be updated Product: Ant Version: 1.6.5 Platform: All OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Documentation AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The task gets instantiated using a no-argument constructor, at parser time. This means even tasks that are never executed get instantiated. Above is from ant manual. I tried a sample based on the above explanation. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="compilation" default="hello world"> <taskdef name="PrintHello" classname="com.gft.customTask.PrintHello" classpath="./PrintHello.jar"/> <taskdef name="PrintHello2" classname="com.gft.customTask.PrintHello2" classpath="./PrintHello.jar"/> <taskdef name="PrintHello3" classname="com.gft.customTask.PrintHello3" classpath="./PrintHello.jar"/> <target name="hello world"> <PrintHello/> <echo>Called Class1 PrintHello</echo> <PrintHello2/> <echo>Called Class2 PrintHello2</echo> <echo>Called Class3 PrintHello3</echo> </target> <target name="hello" > <PrintHello3/> </target> </project> For each taskdef , I have a System.out.println in its constructor. The problem that I am facing is that the constructor for the task <PrintHello3/> is not getting called(I thought this should have been called at parser time,even though its target is never executed). It seems that This means even tasks that are never executed get instantiated does not hold true in the above case. However this works fine in 1.4 suggesting that the feature has been removed in the latest versions, hence the manual needs to be updated for the same.
