Custom task cannot see classpath

["Melzer, Steven" <St...@paymentech.com>]

under ant 1.5.x i created a custom task that did some work with weblogic.  i included the weblogic.jar in the ANT_HOME/lib directory and all worked well.

i upgraded to ant 1.6.0 yesterday, put the weblogic.jar in the ANT_HOME/lib dreictory and my custom task started failing with a ClassNotFoundException because it could not find a class from the weblogic.jar package.

i understand now that the classpath isn't "assembled" in the batch script, but rather by the class loader within the Launcher class within Ant.  however, why doesn't my custom task see that class?  is it using a different class loader for custom tasks?  how do i get my custom task to see the weblogic jar?

thanks,
steve

Probably yes (if you are using a custom classpath in your <taskdef>).

What does your taskdef look like?

Why do you put weblogic.jar into ANT_HOME/lib but not the jar
containing your custom task?
