The problem is that ComponentHelper checks if "task" classe are
suitable for being ant classes:
/**
* Checks whether or not a class is suitable for serving as Ant task.
* Ant task implementation classes must be public, concrete, and have
* a no-arg constructor.
*
* @param taskClass The class to be checked.
* Must not be <code>null</code>.
*
* @exception BuildException if the class is unsuitable for being an Ant
* task. An error level message is logged before
* this exception is thrown.
*/
This must be by-passed for internal ant tasks but is triggered
by AntCallBack which does some odd things (probably a copy of
ant 1.5 code).
199 Hashtable taskdefs = project.getTaskDefinitions();
200 Enumeration et = taskdefs.keys();
201 while ( et.hasMoreElements() ) {
202 String taskName = (String)et.nextElement();
203 if ( taskName.equals( "property" ) ) {
204 // we have already added this taskdef in #init
205 continue;
206 }
207 Class taskClass = (Class)taskdefs.get( taskName );
208 newProject.addTaskDefinition( taskName, taskClass );
209 }
easy fix would be to remove the constructor from PropertyHelperTask.
the project attribute would be injected as usual by IH.
