The Plexus plugin was a great example, and I can see how using tags is going
to be helpful in lots of areas..
Now, here is my current question. Becasue the <cactus> target is an Ant
task with various embedded tasks, I wanted to take some of the common ones,
like <containerset> and put them in their own tags. That way I can
customize the various elements of the <cactus> target, but share all the
common code. However, when I did this:
<define:taglib uri="cactustag">
<define:tag name="containerset">
<ant:echo message="\n\nHERE WE ARE!\n\n"/>
<ant:echo message="val:${cactus.home.tomcat4x}"/>
<containerset>
<tomcat4x if="cactus.home.tomcat4x"
dir="${cactus.home.tomcat4x}" port="${cactus.port}"
output="${cactus.reports.dir}/tomcat4x.out"
todir="${cactus.reports.dir}/tomcat4x">
</tomcat4x>
</containerset>
</define:tag>
</define:taglib>
The "HERE WE ARE" message comes out, but the <cactus> tag acts as if the
<containerset> tag was never added. Is this a limitation in that my
attempting to load the <containerset> via <cactustag:containerset> won't
work?
