http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3919 optional task not found message should be clearer Summary: optional task not found message should be clearer Product: Ant Version: 1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is just a suggestion but the message: "Could not create task of type: <taskname>. Common solutions are to use the taskdef to declare your task, or, if this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory of your ant installation (ANT_HOME)." says nothing of the fact that one should place the required libraries of the optional task in the lib directory as well. For example, I was trying to run the junit task when I got this message. After searching the documentation I finally found the "Required Libraries" section of the installation part of the ant manual. The message could have gotten me there quicker if it where more clear about all of the required libraries not just mentioning the optional.jar. Great work with ant, btw! Thanks.
