I prefer alt.3 and try using taskdefs before without success. I did

with a complete working example?
This is how my (non-working) build.xml looks like now:
(both .jar files are placed in the lib directory under the basedir)
<project name="imweb" default="upload" basedir=".">
<taskdef name="ftp"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="/lib/ant-commons-net.jar"/>
<pathelement location="/lib/commons-net-1.1.0.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="upload">
<ftp server="..." userid="... password="..." depends="yes"
verbose="yes">
<fileset dir="en" />
</ftp>
</target>
</project>
Is it really necessary to place ant-commons-net in the classpath since
it is already under the ant/lib path? btw! I am using ant.1.6.5
See the FAQ on classloading.
Option number 3, as Ivan says, *requires" moving ant-commons-net.jar
out of the ant lib directory to some place else, otherwise the
ant-commons-net.jar gets
loaded at ant startup time (sort of, it is in the startup classpath), and
at this time (with this classpath) it cannot see the commons net classes
so the task will not start.

Asle,
You have several other alternatives to keep your ant
distribution clean of external libs:
1) Put commons-net-1.1.0.jar in $HOME\.ant\lib (my
favourite way)
2) Place it an arbitrary directory say
/path/to/thirdparty/jars and use -lib option of ant
launching script.
3) (Requires more coding and its benefits are
doubtful). Move ant-commons-net.jar from $ANT_HOME/lib
to some other folder and in your build script
<taskdef> ftp task like this:
<taskdef name="ftp" classname="...">
<classpath>
<pathelement
location="/path/to/ant-commons-net.jar"/>
<pathelement location="/path/to/commons-net.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>

Is it possible to "embed" the ant ftp task in a
project. I would like
to just depend on a standard ant-installation to use
the ftp task and
have the commons-net-1.1.0.jar in my project instead
of under /ant/lib
which is suggested by the documentation. I have
tried different
methods to do this but none have worked so far. Any
suggestions?
