> Without modifying the "core" ANT distribution this is not possible...
Well, it is possible to use a task/type without a taskdef if you package your tasks/types as an antlib and use XML namespaces in the buildfile, with the Magic antlib:package-to-antlib-xml-file namespaces. It's not in the strictest of sense a taskdef ;-) That's the closest to seemless integration you can get with ant as-is. It's a design choice by the Ant community to have tasks outside the Ant distribution be explicitly declared. There's been talk on the dev list recently to have some AntLibs auto-loaded. As long as it's not the default behavior, I'm fine with it (I prefer using XML NS). The ant/autolib/ directory Steve suggested sounds fine to me for example. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
