I tested similar things, namely with <threads:group> and <threads:thread>.
The following works fine:
<threads:group>
<threads:thread>...</threads:thread>
</threads:group>
"thread" adds itself to "group". However, I wanted to define my own tags
like ant, <parallel> and <single>,
The usage idea was:
<parallel>
<single> ... </single>
<single> ... </single>
</parallel>
The code that didn't work was:
<define:tag name="parallel">
<threads:group var="myGroup">
<define:invokeBody/>
</threads:group>
<threads:wait group="${myGroup}"/>
</define:tag>
<define:tag name="single">
<threads:thread> ... </threads:thread>
</define:tag>
I traced through the code and it was failing because of the compile-type
ancestor function.
