I'm a little baffled... I've added an antlib.xml to CppTasks.jar, which is in ant/lib (as is AntContrib.jar). I've declared the xmlns:cpp="antlib:net.nf.antcontrib.cpptasks" shortcut on the <project> top-level element, and still it cannot find the <cpp:compiler> datatype.
I originally used the cc namespace prefix instead of cpp, and thought it might somehow conflict with the <cc> task define, but that's not it, as cpp doesn't work either as a prefix. After having used AntLib successfully with my own tasks, and AntContrib's, I'm not really sure what could be wrong here! Could it be the fact that the resources loaded from the AntLib are in the default package? Bug? Help please. I've include all the relevant info I could think off. I hope it's not too much... --DD P:\com_lgc\10.0.7\gocad\T-Surf\Filters>build -f cpptasks.xml Buildfile: cpptasks.xml BUILD FAILED P:\com_lgc\10.0.7\gocad\T-Surf\Filters\cpptasks.xml:7: Could not create task or type of type: antlib :net.nf.antcontrib.cpptasks:compiler. Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'antlib:net.nf.antcontrib.cpptasks:compiler'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed - The task was not built into optional.jar as dependent libraries were not found at build time. Fix: look in the JAR to verify, then rebuild with the needed libraries, or download a release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug.
