Jean,
the reason its in nantcontrib is because its deprecated. To add new tasks all you need to is drop the new task assembly in the same folder as nant and it will *automatically* find all the tasks in it. See the FAQ [1] and the "Writing a custom NAnt task " turorial[2] on the wiki [3]


I just spent too long looking for taskdef, then figuring out I have to
download bits from nantcontrib, than kludge this and that to make it
work, then finally have it.
IMHO, it belongs in Nant.Core. It's the first task that should be in
nant.core. Conceivably, it's the only task that could be in nant.core
-- all other tasks could use it to register themselves.
tasks don't need to register themselves - they are discovered at runtime via reflection on the task assemblies.
It's the key to
extending Nant, so why is it a fussy extension itself?
actually its not.

Isn't part of
the Ant spec anyway? It's even part of the examples in Nant, which
crash, obviously.

we should probably update the examples in that case.
