Hello, This may be a developer mailing list question due to its specifics, but hopefully someone can off some help.
I'm using the Ant API within a Java application. I would like to create a custom ant task that caches some results from an operation and saves it for use in future executions. My simple method of doing this is using a 'static' member. This would work great for me as the operations would be appropriate to cache at an application wide level. However what I'm noticing is that for each new execution of Ant (I'm using the Ant taskdef to execute ant), the static data is lost, quite possibly caused by Ant creating a new class loader upon every execution, thus not reusing my ant task class instance from the previous execution. How would I go about implementing this sort of design? I've noticed Project.get/setCoreLoader() and have tried to use this to cache the class loaders and reuse them, but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks for the help. -Jose
