how to ear with 1.4?

["J.D. Fagan" <jf...@us.dhl.com>]

Trying to build an ear with the ear task from Ant 1.4 alpha (I see the
Ear.java task in the CVS repository).  However, I get errors from Ant
complaining that "ear" is not a task.  How do I make it work?  Do I need to
use the taskdef for this task?  Any help from those using this task
appreciated.

Here's my ear task below -- kind of guessing at the form from looking at the
Java code, as there is 0 documentation yet:

    <ear earfile="${deploy.dir}/classes/${name}.ear"
        appxml="${src.dir}/metadata/application.xml">
      <fileset dir="${build.dir}/staging"/>
    </ear>

Looks like it's not in defaults.properties, so you'll need to either add
it or <taskdef> it.

There's a manual page for it in CVS at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/jakarta-ant/docs/manual/CoreTasks/ear.html

The ear task doesn't seem to handle multiple fileset tags, or nested
fileset.
  for instance,
     <ear earfile="${deploy.dir}/classes/${name}.ear"
         appxml="${src.dir}/metadata/application.xml">
       <fileset dir="${build.dir}/staging"/>
       <fileset dir="${build.dir}/ejb"/>
    </ear>
