I'm trying to do some inline Ant scripting via the Ant *script *task<http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/script.html>. The same could go for the Ant *scriptdef *task<http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/scriptdef.html> .
And I'm trying to make Ivy be the provider of all the libraries on which the *script *task depends. That works with the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) JAR (for the common scripting API), and the BSF implementation I'm using--in this case, beanshell. But it isn't working for commons-logging.jar, on which BSF depends. If I make my bsf/bsf module depend on org.apache/commons-logging, the dependency gets dowloaded into my Ivy cache, but I see the following error: BUILD FAILED java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory at org.apache.bsf.BSFManager.<init>(BSFManager.java:102) at org.apache.tools.ant.util.optional.ScriptRunner.createManager(ScriptRunner.java:170) ... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory at org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.findClassInComponents(AntClassLoader.java:1400) at org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.findClass(AntClassLoader.java:1341) at org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.loadClass(AntClassLoader.java:1088) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) ... 20 more The only way I can get this *ClassNotFoundException *to go away is if I put the commons-logging JAR in *USER_HOME*/.ant/lib or *ANT_HOME*/lib. Any ideas how I can make this *AntClassLoader *use the commons-logging JAR provided by Ivy?
