Re: taskdef question - only usable at project level?

[Andrew n marshall]

I am also trying to develop something like what Scot described and 
running into similar problems.  However, I am not using the namespace 
notation.  My version looks something like this:

 <target name="update" depends="define_svnant_tasks">
   <svn>
     <checkout url="${cpptasks.svn}" destPath="${cpptasks.dir}" />
   </svn>
 </target>

 <target name="define_svnant_tasks">
   <!-- Using ant-contrib's antfetch task to call targets and import resulting 
classpath -->
   <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
   <antfetch antfile="svnant.xml" target="define_svnant_classpath" 
return="svnant.classpath"/>
   <taskdef resource="svntask.properties">
     <classpath>
       <pathelement path="${svnant.classpath}" />
     </classpath>
   </taskdef>
   <echo>Defined &lt;svn&gt; task</echo>
 </target>


I currently get the following error:
define_svnant_classpath:
     [echo] Defined <svn> task

update:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/Anm/Projects/Development/ant_cpp_skeleton/lib/cpptasks.xml:19: 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

In Ant's distro (I think, else in SVN HEAD) you can check out the 
cooperation between fetch.xml and get-m2.xml . This does something 
like what you're talking about.
The main difference I see is the use of import.  Instead, I avoid the 
polluting the namespace by just <antfetch>ing the classpath before 
defining the task.  Still, the task definition is missing in the 
depending target.
