[jira] Closed: (MANTRUN-56) Automatically add ant optional jar to antrun classpath

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Carlos Sanchez closed MANTRUN-56.
---------------------------------

      Assignee: Carlos Sanchez
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Documented in http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/customTasks.html (will be available soon) how to add dependencies to plugin

Adding dependencies to plugin by default is not a good idea as it will force the download of unused jars and there are many candidates to be included

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>         Environment: Maven 2.0.4, antrun 1.1, java 1.4.2_08, Windows XP SP2

> Please add the ant optional task jar to the pom for the antrun plugin, as recommended in MANTRUN-53.  I've also had a look at MANTRUN-42.  The instructions found at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/classpaths.html don't really say much about it, except that they imply that every optional task should include an child <classpath refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/> element.
> I've tried this with <echoproperties/> to no avail.  Execute "mvn install" in an empty directory with the attached pom.xml to repeat.  I get the common error:
> Embedded error: Could not create task or type of type: echoproperties.
> Why can't we just include the ant optional task jar as a dependency in the antrun POM?
