Before I go further I wanted to know if the following format for Ant-Extension files (generated with the TaskLib-Task) is acceptable for you all?
It currently will only support dynamic loading of task, no checking for other required libs and so on. As others suggested the usage of special ClassLoaders introduced in JDK 1.2+ and/or the usage of MANIFEST.MF, I just dropped these ideas, because (1) we need to implement different behaviour depending of the JVM used (if we do it our own we can always do the same) and (2) I don't think you can easyly (and in a readable way) use MANIFEST.MF to do other things in the furure (check for required libs and so on) - this must be why there is a WEB.XML instead just using MANIFEST.MF :-) Nico
