Getting WebLogic WL tasks to work in Ant 1.6.2

["Karr, David" <da...@wamu.net>]

WebLogic 8.1 comes with a set of Ant tasks.  These work fine in Ant
1.5.4, but they fail in Ant 1.6.2.  In Ant 1.5.4, I just dump the
"weblogic.jar" in $ANT_HOME/lib.  When I do this in Ant 1.6.2, I get CNF
exceptions for the task classes.  I believe I've heard that these task
classes simply won't work in Ant versions newer than 1.5.4, but I'd at
least like to pursue this and find out what the correct process would
be, and if there are changes that would have to happen in the task
classes themselves, what kind of changes would be required?

As far as I know, weblogic.jar has core ant classes (from ant 1.5.*) 
embedded in it. This of course
causes grief when used with ant 1.6.

You can check this by doing jar tf on the weblogic.jar file.

I've not had good experience myself using the wl supplied ant tasks, due to 
this and the fact that the tasks seem limited. I used ant's java task to run 
the wldeployer, etc to accomplish what the weblogic tasks provided.

I don't know what type of licensing these tasks have on them, but I'd 
suggest going to weblogic support for help on them.
