RE: cvs commit: jakarta-ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdef s/optional/perforce P4sync.java

[Jose Alberto Fernandez <JF...@viquity.com>]

Ok, can someone explain what does it mean to be optional?
I though that being optional meant that you needed to
do a <taskdef> in your project to use such task.

If we are putting the tast in the default list, why is it optional?

We need to get to 2.0 soon to stop the madness ;-)

Optional means that it needs another jar to build, or use - relies on
external command line tools.
