How does ant 'know' about the optional tasks? Are they defined as part of the Ant core?
For example if I use the JUnit task Ant picks the taskdef directly from options.jar (or whatever this releases jar file is called. But if I create my own task I have to put a taskdef in my build.xml file, even if I put the jar file containing the task into ant\lib. I was wondering where the optional task magic comes from?
