Hi Jan, You are forgetting to bind the xmlns namespace to a URI.
<project xmlns:example="antlib:a.b.c" .../> <taskdef resource="a/b/c/antlib.xml" uri="antlib:a.b.c" classpath="jars/example.jar"/> <example:hello/> Peter On 5/22/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I created an antlib for a bundle of tasks/macrodefs. Including via <project xmlns:ccm="antlib:..."> works, but then - I have to add the antlib to the global Ant installation (%ANT_HOME%/lib; %USER_HOME%/.ant/lib) which means the build is not reliable after a checkout on a clean machine [1] or - modify the start command (ant.bat; %ANT_OPTS%; %USER_HOME%/ant_{pre|post}.bat) which makes that machine different from the other in the team. I would prefer having the antlib in the project directory and bind the antlib with the given classpath inside the buildfile. <typedef resource="antlib:..." uri="ccm" classpath="../../build/antlib.jar"/> <ccm:start user="${user}" pwd="${pwd}" database="${db}"/> this results in The prefix "ccm" for element "ccm:start" is not bound. at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2.parse(ProjectHelper2.java:233 ) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2.parse(ProjectHelper2.java:140 ) at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.configureProject(ProjectHelper.java:9 1) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:653) --- Nested Exception --- at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unkno wn Source) ... at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.ProjectHelper2.parse(ProjectHelper2.java:217 ) I think this is because the error occurs while parsing and the <taskdef> would be executed after that. Does anyone see a possibility to load the antlib from inside the buildfile? Jan [1] http://martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html#MaintainASin gleSourceRepository.
