Hi all,
I tried to seperate my custom task and their dependencies from my normal ANT
Installation.
For example AntDoc is installed in ${ant.home}/AntDoc. So I defined the
taskdef like follows:
<taskdef name="AntDoc" classname="org.ed.pack.ant.AntDoc">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${ant.home}/AntDoc/lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
where AntDoc/lib contains AntDoc.jar; AntDoc.cab (not used) and saxon.jar.
This gives me a NullPointerException:
Buildfile: build.xml
antdoc:
BUILD FAILED
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.ed.pack.ant.AntDoc.generateAntDoc(Unknown Source)

at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:235)
Total time: 9 seconds
If I install the used jars in ${ant.home}/lib it works fine.
The reason I try to seperate the custom tasks is that one of my custom task
needs an older version of xerces and clashes with the version ANT uses and I
want to keep my classpath clean.
Is this a good idea or not recommended at all?
Regards,
Michael
