Ok, I think i've worked out the namespace issues and have read a bit on ant namespaces for tasksdef's. It seems that namespaces/uri is used with taskdefs so that scp, and my:scp will allow the definition of both the ant-lib supplied:
scp=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.Scp and perhaps my own: scp=external.org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.Scp this allows my code to use <my:scp > to refer to the second item, and still allows scp to refer to the first one. this merely seems related to the name the task will take in the ant script itself. it doesn't seem to have to do with the fact that org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.Scp is defined in the ant-lib folder, and as such, a user can't use the scp task without modifications outside of their environment (as mentioned earlier, a user can use ~/.ant/lib, adding jsch.jar to ant-lib, or -antlib parameter, or remove the ant-jscp.jar from ant lib). what i'd like is to be able to use the scp task without modifying the installed ant, or modifying anything outside of the build environment.
