Hi guys. I hope this is the right place for me to ask development quesiton about Ant.
Please let me know otherwise. I recently created a class loader implementation that will load classes following hierarchical structure. i.e. jar files in the same folder or sub-folders will take precedence over those in parent folders or sibling folders. This can resolve the classpath version problem where certain dependent library requires a different version of a class. (One reason that people could use to turn to maven) Now I'm trying to create my own "java" task and "junit" task to utilize this class loader. I would prefer not to make any syntax change to the xml tag. The only difference would be to allow the task class to interpret a classpath like "lib;somextralib.jar" differently. jar files in the "lib" folder will be automatically loaded following the hierarchical rule. One problem I'm facing here is, I cannot seem to be able to extend org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java class to do what I want to do. The executeJava() has quite long logic that I want to re-use. But I can't seem to find an extension point to make use of my class loader. The only way I can find out so far is to copy-paste the entire Java class code and create my own version. But I'd like to avoid it if possible. There's similar problem with the JUnitTask class. But seems there's a spot that I can hack in my logic. (to override the getCommandline() method) Any suggestion is appreciated.
