I don't know - the problem is that after a while you get disconected,
that's my main reason for sending patches for "real" commiters.

Well, I kind of need this - that's why I did the patch. I guess I can
create a new "TempTaskdef" - and use it instead of the official taskdef.
It's a bit inconvenient - I'm already doing a number of workarounds.

Any half of the patch would help ( if I can load a group of tasks with the
same loader I can resolve my problem ), but I think it's nice to use a
single class loader for a certain classpath ( at lest for taskdefs ).


BTW, what's the policy for "optional" tasks ?

I never remove @author tags. It's just an interesting experience to see a
file where you are listed as author - after the code was refactored or
rewritten.
