getDescription of a Task return null in taskStarted(BuildEvent event)

           Summary: getDescription of a Task return null in
                    taskStarted(BuildEvent event)
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The getDescription() method of a Task return always null in the
taskStarted method of the BuildListener interface even when the
description attribute is set.
A simple solution may be to change the order of the method calls in
the preform method so that project.fireTaskStarted() will be called after
maybeConfigure():

public final void perform() {
   try {
       maybeConfigure();
       project.fireTaskStarted(this);
       execute();
       project.fireTaskFinished(this, null);
   }
...
}
