I am using xmltask in my own custom ant task. I have a couple problems I can't
fix.
I'm not exactly sure how to create a new XmlTask. I tried: XmlTask xml_edit =
(XmlTask) project.createTask("xmltask");
The Eclipse IDE says the above "project" is depreciated. What else would I use
there?
I also added a taskdef that was called xmltask to my build.xml for my custom
script:
I'm writing a task called: versionupdatetask, and here's the error I get when I
run my code:
[versionupdatetask] java.lang.NullPointerException

What am I doing wrong? I'm using the attr ability of xmltask. It's basically
in this format:
But using java, I'm doing the following:
XmlTask xml_edit = (XmlTask) project.createTask("xmltask");
Attr xml_attr = xml_edit.createAttr();
xml_attr.setPath(xpath);
xml_attr.setAttr("value");
xml_attr.setValue(new_val);
FileSet xmlSet = new FileSet();
xmlSet.setFile(new File(file_path));
xmlSet.setDefaultexcludes(false);
xml_edit.addFileset(xmlSet);
xml_edit.execute();
Problem as you can see, xml_edit (which is an XmlTask) isn't even linked to
xml_attr. So how do I execute the attr function?
Thanks in advance
