Hi Supriyo --
I just tried putting the taskdef inside the target where it's
used, and I can use the parameters there! I had it wrong before
(sorry!) that the parameters were coming from a calling buildfile,
this one is standalone. I had tried:
<target name="init">
<property name="jars.dir" value="..."/>
</target>
<taskdef name="sqlfwk3"
classname="com.gtsdesign.sqlfwk3.ant.Sqlfwk3Taskdef" >
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${jars.dir}/sqlfwk3-taskdef.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
which didn't work, but:
<target name="init">
<property name="jars.dir" value="..."/>
</target>
target name="sqlfwk3" depends="init">
<taskdef name="sqlfwk3"
classname="com.gtsdesign.sqlfwk3.ant.Sqlfwk3Taskdef" >
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${jars.dir}/sqlfwk3-taskdef.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<sqlfwk3.... />
</target>
works fine!
Thanks for your help!
