Yes, I have some ideas on how to do this, but I have not had the time to try them out. I think that is the main missing feature in the ANT <-> <script> connection. How good is scripting if I cannot define new tasks with it. BTW, can someone tell me how to do introspection on a piece of BSF script? I would like to find out what functions are defined on a script. And its parameter type information. Is that possible? I know very little about BSF, so some detailed steps would be wonderful. Let assume I just have the script as text.
