Ah, I should have left it to the Ant master instead of being all clever-like. :) A one-line fix is definitely easier than a maze of twisty little namespace prefixes. In my defense, the usage you presented isn't really made clear in the Ant docs for taskdef/, typedef/ or antlib/--in the first two the examples use .properties files, and I found the latter confusing--and the ant-contrib website doesn't mention that it can be used as an antlib at all. For what it's worth, I like the namespace version: it clearly defines what is Ant and what isn't. Peter J. -- Sometimes the Universe needs a change of perspective. --J.

help please with Gump Forrest
Finally Gump got through to the end of the food chain and built our base project for Forrest - yippee! Now our next failure is forrest-test ... --- BUILD FAILED ... /home/gump/workspaces2/public/workspace/forrest/main/targets/plugins.xml:243: Could not create task or type of type: for. Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. ... --- We do have a depend entry for ant-contrib which provides that for task, but Gump does not seem to pick it up. Is our descriptor missing something, e.g. a nested entry for the ant or something? Sorry, i cannot figure it out. --David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: help please with Gump Forrest
We do have a depend entry for ant-contrib which provides that for task, but Gump does not seem to pick it up. Is our descriptor missing something, e.g. a nested entry for the ant or something? Sorry, i cannot figure it out. ant-contrib recently removed the for task from the antcontrib.properties file, so the only way to get it is via antlib. for depends on Ant 1.6, which also introduced antlibs, so it's a way to enforce that version. There were several messages on their cvs list that said this will break a lot of builds, but when I last looked they seemed fine with that. The way to fix the build is to use namespacing, which is also part of 1.6. First, remove the taskdef/ that loads the properties file. Then add a namespace definition to your project/ tag... project ... xmlns:antcontrib=antlib:net.sf.antcontrib and then use that namespace to prefix all of your ant-contrib tasks... antcontrib:for param=foo ... /antcontrib:for Hope this helps, Peter J. -- Sometimes the Universe needs a change of perspective. --J.

So Gump was just doing its job, and reporting issues to us. The way to fix the build is to use namespacing, which is also part of 1.6. First, remove the taskdef/ that loads the properties file.
