don't wait so long before to ask! ;-)
If you use webtest.xml, tasks are define in wt.defineTasks target and
loaded from the webtest.taskdef resource which is located in the
webtest.jar.
I don't think that this is a good idea to put own stuff within webtest
dir as this makes upgrades more complicated.
I prefer to define custom steps in Groovy but you can do this in java
too, for instance with something like
<target name="wt.defineTasks.init" description="customized classpath">
<antcall target="wt.webtest.wt.defineTasks.init" inheritRefs="true"/>
<path id="wt.defineTasks.classpath.customPrepend">
<pathelement location="path/to/your/classes"/>
</path>
</target>
and then
<taskdef name="myStep" classname="my.custom.step"
loaderref="wt.defineTasks.loader"
classpathref="wt.defineTasks.classpath.id"/>
somewhere before the tests are run.
Cheers,
Marc.
