Hi, I'm trying to use ant-contrib 1.0b2 or 1.0b3, because that's what's available in the standard maven repos. In the past, I've used ant-contrib 0.6, which has worked fine, but I cannot seem to declare 1.0b2 or 1.0b3. For example, the following build file works as expected with ant-contrib 0.6, echoing foo, bar and bat: <project name="test-antcontrib" basedir="." default="use-antcontrib"> <property name="list" value="foo,bar,bat"/> <target name="setup-antcontrib"> <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"> <classpath> <pathelement location="ant-contrib-0.6.jar" /> </classpath> </taskdef> </target> <target name="use-antcontrib" depends="setup-antcontrib"> <for list="${list}" param="var"> <sequential> <echo>@{var}</echo> </sequential> </for> </target> </project> But this build file, using ant-contrib 1.0b3, fails: <project name="test-antcontrib" basedir="." default="use-antcontrib"> <property name="list" value="foo,bar,bat"/> <target name="setup-antcontrib"> <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"> <classpath> <pathelement location="ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/> </classpath> </taskdef> </target> <target name="use-antcontrib" depends="setup-antcontrib"> <for list="${list}" param="var"> <sequential> <echo>@{var}</echo> </sequential> </for> </target> </project> With the following error: BUILD FAILED /home/jacob/workspace/gsoc2010/git-scxml-js/scxml-js/test-antcontrib.xml:36: Problem: failed to create task or type for Cause: The name is undefined. Action: Check the spelling. Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place. As I said, I've tried 1.0b2 and 20020829 versions which are also in the maven repo. I've also tried using the 1.0b3 version from sourceforge, but the results are the same. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem. Let me know what you think.
