Jython 2.1 works with ANT out of the box if you use <script language="jpython" .../>
i.e. Use "jypthon" as the language instead of "jython" or "python". To answer a previous note, some advantages to using <script> instead of <java> or <exec> are that (1) <script> can read and manipulate your ant environment. For example, jython can populate ant datatypes such as FileSets and FileLists. Somebody asked about FTP and mappers recently. A jython script might be useful there. (2) (I haven't verified this, please correct me if I'm mistaken) <exec> and <java> reload the jython classes at each invocation. <script> loads the jython library into the JVM. Subsequent <script>s do not require a reload. Has anyone created ANT tasks or datatypes using jython? I would like to take my jython <script>s and make them into tasks. This would help greatly with parameter passing and reuse. I'd also like to define "user" tasks that would be inherited in <ant> and <antcall>s.
