Hi,
I'm working with Ant1.5 (according to $ANT_HOME/welcome.html).
I'm trying to extend the tag set of ant.
I've never done it before.
The tag I want to add is <vizant> which corresponds
to a utility for building visualization of build.xml files.
You will see a nice demo here:
http://vizant.sourceforge.net/examples.html
Based on my reading I need to do two things:
1. Find the appropriate .jar file for the <vizant> tag and add the .jar file to
$ANT_HOME/lib.
2. Add an appropriate <taskdef> tag to the build file.
So...
I built a AntViz.jar file from an AntViz download.
Here is my copy of AntViz:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dist]# cd /home/dan/AntViz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] AntViz]# ls

I used ant to create the AntViz.jar file:

So I assume that I'm almost done.
All I need to do is add an appropriate <taskdef> tag to the build.xml.
I created a simple build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- A simple build.xml file -->
<project name="bikle build.xml 01" default="main" basedir=".">
<taskdef name="vizant" classname="antviz.AntViz"/>
<classpath>
<path location="/sun1/jwsdp-1.2/apache-ant/lib/AntViz.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="main">
<vizant antfile="build.xml" outfile="build.dot"/>
<exec executable="dot" ><arg line="-Tpng build.dot -o build.png"/></exec>
</target>
</project>
When I run ant I see this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ant]# ant
Buildfile: build.xml

I then checked a few things:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ant]# env|grep ANT
ANT_HOME=/sun1/jwsdp-1.2/apache-ant

That looks okay.

That looks okay.

That looks okay.
I wonder why ant cannot find "antviz.AntViz" inside of
/sun1/jwsdp-1.2/apache-ant/lib/AntViz.jar
??
Also I tried putting AntViz.jar in my CWD and also changing the
syntax of the <taskdef> tag:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ant]# cat build.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- A simple build.xml file -->
<project name="bikle build.xml 01" default="main" basedir=".">
<taskdef name="vizant" classname="antviz.AntViz" classpath="AntViz.jar"/>
<target name="main">
<vizant antfile="build.xml" outfile="build.dot"/>
<exec executable="dot" ><arg line="-Tpng build.dot -o build.png"/></exec>
</target>

Also I tried changing the name of the <vizant> tag to <AntViz> so that it would match
the class name:

If you have made <vizant> work in your build.xml files, and have any tips for
me, please send me clues.
Thanks,
