Re: typedef & taskdef & classcast exception

[Bill Dudney]

Another bit of info that I noticed that I left out. The 
ClassCastException happens in ant because the type and the tasks are 
loaded by different classloaders. I'm assuming that is what is 
happening here but being a maven nubie I'm not sure.

I read this post
http://maven.apache.org/faq.html#classloader-property
but I could not make sense of why my stuff is not working. Both try 1 
and try 2 below should be basically the same thing as what is described 
in this post (AFAIK). Just for grins I rearranged everything to look 
exactly like what's in that post and got the same exception.

Thanks again for any help.

Hello,
I am trying to define both a custom task and a custom type in a maven 
plugin.jelly file.

I have tried many different combinations of {type/task}def but have 
not been able to get around the ClassCastException problem.

first try;
    <ant:typedef resource="types.properties" 
classpathref="custom.classpath"/>
    <ant:taskdef resource="tasks.properties" 
classpathref="custom.classpath"/>

second try
    <ant:typedef resource="types.properties" 
classpathref="custom.classpath"
                           loaderRef="foo"/>
    <ant:taskdef resource="tasks.properties" 
classpathref="custom.classpath"
                           loaderRef="foo"/>

I also tried defining each task and type separately but same result.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
TTFN,
