Thanks for the replies. XML namespace mapping does work fine, as is
written in the docs included with later ant-contrib. For the record,
here's what I have that works:
<project name="test-antcontrib" basedir="." default="use-antcontrib">
<property name="list" value="foo,bar,bat"/>
<target name="setup-antcontrib">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
<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>
Thanks,
Jake
