There is a possible hack I guess.
There is a deprecated option to typedef : reverseLoader. If set to true, the
classloader inheritance is inverted.
I don't know why it is deprecated but surely for a good reason, so use it at
your own risk
The code shown below _does_ work! Thank you very much! Is this the
best way to take care of this need for both Ant 1.7 and Ant 1.8?
Specifically, what about using *<classloader>* task as an alternative?
I couldn't find examples of how *<classloader>* is used, but saw it in
the 1.8 source code?
If there is a better way to give my classpath priority other than the
*reverseloader *trick, can someone provide example code that works in
both Ant 1.7 and 1.8 (even if conditional code is used) so that I get it
right?
Many thanks!
