I have a fairly complex sequence of Ant scripts, including top level scripts which call lower level scripts. All of them go through a general import phase, which includes doing some taskdefs. Now, I'd like to avoid doing the taskdefs in the lower level scripts if the tasks have already been loaded by a higher level script. What I'd like is:
1) Some way of determining whether or not a task has already been loaded 2) Some way of only executing the taskdef task if step 1 says it hasn't. Note that there's a bootstrapping problem here - I can do step 2 using AntContrib, but that prevents me from applying the same technique to AntContrib itself. Currently I'm passing a property down to say whether or not I've loaded the other taskdefs (explicitly - inheritAll is false on the <ant> tasks I'm calling) and just always loading AntContrib, but that's not entirely satisfactory. Any suggestions, beyond telling Ant to use large amounts of memory when building? (That's a valid option, but I'd rather avoid it...)
