Where is this documented?
Good point!
It is not documented.
<taskdef name="mytask" classname="this.does.not.exist"
onerror="ignore"
will be accepted ok.
However when used,
<mytask/>
one gets the message:
C:\Documents and Settings\reilly\learning\a\typedef\build.xml:6:
Problem: failed to create task or type mytask
Cause: the class this.does.not.exist was not found.
Action: Check that the component has been correctly declared
.....
The idea of using the value "ignore" in an antlib is to
defer creating the types/tasks until they are used by the
build script - this emulates the built-in tasks/types of
ant and allows thirdparty antlibs to have "optional" types/tasks
