Ended up getting around this by writing the catalina-tasks taskdefs into the
module directly, and setting a CATALINA_HOME global variable. Works like a
charm, but I'm still curious about the original question if anyone has any
thoughts. Code below.
Buildr.ant("myProject") do |antProject|
antProject.taskdef(:resource => "org/apache/catalina/ant/catalina.tasks") {
|antProject|
antProject.classpath { |antProject|
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/tomcat-api.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/tomcat-util.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/jasper.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/jasper-el.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/el-api.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/jsp-api.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/servlet-api.jar")
antProject.fileset(:file => "#{CATALINA_HOME}/lib/catalina-ant.jar")
}
}
#other tasks
end
