http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18011 Overriding built-in types fails within tasks ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-15 02:11 ------- Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't say that replacing a task midway through the build is really my goal. It is more an artifact of the fact that in order to provide a new implementation of, say fileset, I either have to reimplement or extend all of the tasks that support fileset where I want to use this new functionality or I have to make Ant think my task is really fileset. If Ant supported something like classifying a new task as another type (like my CCVersionSet, which extends FileSet, as a FileSet) and when it encountered a ccversionset type, it called addFileSet, I'd be perfectly happy. This would seem to take full advantage of polymorphic behavior within scripts, which is what I'm really after. Alas, it does not function so. If I had a suggestion for improvement, that would be it.
