Andrew:
Namespace isn't really an issue...I just like using it ;) I think it
makes it clearer where things originate...
Anyway...
I did figure out a way to do what I had intended. I am actually able to
download Ant contrib dynamically, install it and then use it... If you
are interested in my solution, I'd be happy to share that with you...

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 <svn> task</echo>
</target>
I currently get the following error:
define_svnant_classpath:
[echo] Defined <svn> task
update:
BUILD FAILED

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.
