Re: Using properties files to define types?

[Peter Reilly]

You need to do <typedef file/resource="apropertyfile.props"/>
or place them in an antlib xml file:
<antlib>
  <!-- types -->
  <typedef name="depsfilenamemapper" classname="..."/>
  <!--tasks -->
  <taskdef name="..." classname=",,,"/>
</antlib>

How do you specify a type in a properties file? It's working fine for
me with tasks, but when I use a type:

dependencies-mapper=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.dependencies.DependenciesFileNameMapper

I get:

C:\opensource\httpunit-dom\build.xml:54: No public execute() in class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.dependencies.DependenciesFileNameMapper
       at org.apache.tools.ant.TaskAdapter.checkTaskClass(TaskAdapter.java:70)

       at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer.loadProperties(Definer.java:304)

so it seems to think I am defining a task instead.
