Or even:
<antelope:if xmlns:antelope="antlib:${ant-contrib.jar}" />
In any case - if ComponentHelper is used, it'll get
"antlib:/path/to/ant-contrib.jar" as first param and if as the second param
- and any helper in the chain can create the task.
I don't like passing the .jar very much - but that's probably the only
way if we want to use META-INF/antlib.xml.
The alternative would be to use /net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml (i.e.
descriptor in a package ), and use "antlib:net.sf.antcontrib" as namespace.
Then getResource() can be used, and we don't have to worry about
multiple jars providing META-INF/antlib.xml - which forces us to use the
.jar file directly.
