Exec Class cast exception

["Doremieux, Olivier" <Ol...@fc.celera.com>]

I am trying to create my own task, but with the following line I am getting
a ClassCastException. What am I doing wrong

    final Exec cmd = (Exec)project.createTask("exec");

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask
        at signtoolTask.execute(signtoolTask.java:21)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:132)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:720)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:451)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:425)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:298)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:119)

Thank you

Olivier

Try debugging it by getting back an Object asking for its class and then
printing that out.

final Object cmd = project.createTask("exec");
System.out.println(cmd.getClass().getName());
