How can I run optional ant tasks with maven-antrun-plugin ?
When I run it, it is missing the optional jar from the classpath - even though the jar is properly placed in %ANT_HOME%/lib/ and exec'ing the same ant task in "native" ant works fine. so there is some disconnect w/ the classpath... My assumption is that maven-antrun-plugin uses a different classpath. How can the maven-antrun-plugin classpath be configured to support optional ant tasks? Thanks... Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'scp'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries implementing the functionality were not found at the time you yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources. Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively, download a pre-built release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. - You are attempting to use a task defined using <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not defined it at the point of use -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/running-optional-ant-tasks-with-maven-antrun-plugin-tp15842721s177p15842721.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
