In most cases you don't need to set the classpath - the only special situation is when a library doesn't use the thread loader, but most have been fixed. You can define a class loader and then use it in the taskdef. If you use 'resource', all tasks that are defined in the resource will be loaded in the same loader. That works fine - take a look at 3.3 admin or test, or jk2 build file. Is there anything specific you have problems with ?
