Since macro defs are tasks, it would be better to use the
project.createTask() method, and not try to use the
internal (although exposed trough the public classes and methods)
mechanizes of Ant.
<macrodef name="atest">
<sequential>
<echo>This is the atest macro</echo>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<script language="beanshell">
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MacroInstance;
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
atest = project.createTask("atest");
if (! (atest instanceof MacroInstance)) {
throw new BuildException("atest is not a macro");
}
atest.execute();
</script>
It would be necessary to call setOwningTarget as project.createTask()
does not know the current target.

Appears that there's no need to call setProject() or setOwningTarget() on
the macro's
instance.
However, not sure whether this is the "right" way to do. Perhaps Peter can
comment
on this.
Thanks for all help so far.

So your 'def' is null, right?
Try not casting it to MacroDef, and see which kind of Java Class is
returned, if any. It may be an UnknownElement (my guess), a
MacroInstance, etc...
From the UE, you may be able to get a MacroInstance or a MacroDef, and
if the later, configure it into a MacroInstance, which is what you
want to run.
I vaguely know this code only. Peter's the expert. --D
