I am trying to use the Ant 'cactus' optional task in my build.xml. This fails because Eclipse must have the optional task set in the preferences, but I can't figure out how to do this.
If I have understood your issue correctly, you need add the jar with the optional task to the classpath for the build.xml external tool. From the 'external tools' menu / toolbar button the "external tools..." option allows you to set environment variables, classpath, refresh etc for each tool / build script.
If I haven't understood your question, my appologies for a useless answer. Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
