Sorry for the double post: Hi, I'm certain this is the most simple problem that will be addressed today by competent ant users (I exclude myself of this group, of course) I have been trying for a while now to make a taskdef for Batik to convert svg files to jpeg and other file formats. I have succesfully compiled the task, and added this line to my build file:
<taskdef name="rasterize" classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.RasterizerTask" /> I then proceeded to use the new task: <project name="RasterizerExample" default="main" basedir="."> <taskdef name="rasterize" classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.RasterizerTask" /> <target name="main"> <rasterize result="image/png" src="input.svg" dest="output.png" /> </target> </project> Now, when I run the task, ant keeps complaining that the RasterizerTask cannot find one of the classes it relies upon (which I have found in another jar file related to the Batik framework). I know I can add a classpath attribute to the taskdef to specify where to look for the RasterizerTask class. But, if, I'm not wrong, this classpath will not help ant finding the other classes this class relies upon, hence the error message. I do hope someone can explain to me how ant follows the class trail from the taskdef class to all its dependencies.
