If memory serves, there is an issue with Ant 1.7 and specifying a lib
dir... Ant 1.7.1 fixes the problem... I assume 1.7.1+ fixes it too :)
I had to build that from source...
Then all you should have to do is use the <classpath> child element of
<scriptdef>. For example:
<scriptdef
name = "compute-locale"
language = "beanshell"
description = "Sets the locale of the current JVM."
uri = "http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment"; >
<classpath>
<path refid = "jplate.LIB_PATH_REF"/>
</classpath>
<attribute name = "property"/>
<![CDATA[
project.setProperty ( attributes.get ( "property" ),
java.util.Locale.getDefault ().toString () );
]]>
</scriptdef>

Hi,
sorry if this is a newbie question, but I did not find an answer in
docs, faqs, google etc.
I'm using Ant 1.7, and I would like to use the <script> and
<scriptdef> tasks to solve a particular problem. Since these are
optional tasks, they need various libraries when run under Java5. So
far, I was able to run a little "hello world" script. But what really
bothers me is that I either have to copy the libraries into my ant
installation or have to use the "-lib" option for each of the three
libraries. As I want to distribute the project and as it shall be
platform independent, writing a shell script or a Windows batch file
is not really the solution I imagine. I would prefer to reference the
libraries from within the build.xml file, like it is done with
<typedef>/<taskdef> for external tasks. Trying to use the <typedef>
mechanism for this purpose failed; An attempt to override the "script"
task results in an error "Trying to override old definition of task
script"; choosing a different name reveals that the libraries are not
found despite being referenced (maybe ant uses a different class
loader for that purpose).
<path id="lib.path">
<fileset dir="lib" includes="**/*.jar"/>
</path>
<typedef
name="scriptx"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.Script"
classpathref="lib.path"/>
Any help is highly appreciated.
