I've looked around at this and understand the mechanisms that nat has for
extending types (via typedef) and tasks (via taskdef).
I have a condition where I want to use the propertyregexp task. I compile
using JDK1.2. I also have the apache regexp.jar. I have read on how to add
my own task definition and defining with regexpimpl to use via the ant -D
mechanism.
What I want to do is
- augment just ant's classpath to include regexp.jar
- do this without:
adding the file to $ANT_HOME/lib
adding the file to ~/.ant tree
setting CLASSPATH to point to the location of the file before
invoking ant.
Is there some way that I can cause the ant classloader to know about a
generic JAR file to be added if the jar file does not have a type or task
definition?
Thanks,
Nestor
