XSLT: Could not create task of type: xslt.
Hi there,
We have an ant file going which javadoc's a web project we're doing. In
addition to that I wanted to apply an XSL-sheet to the web.xml in order
to make it legible. I checked out xslt in ant and found that that would
do the trick. I put optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib and also put the
xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in that directory. I then
made this ant task:
<xslt in="${cms.sourceDir}/WEB-INF/web.xml"
out="${cms.javaDoc}/web.html"
style="${cms.sourceDir}/WEB-INF/styles/web.xsl">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="e:/ant/lib" includes="**/*.jar"/>
</classpath>
</xslt>
Thinking this would do the trick for me. However when running this
build.xml, I get:
F:\Projects\CMS.workdir\CMS\build.ant:99: Could not create task of type:
xslt. Common solutions are to use taskdef to declare your task, or, if
this is an optional task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory
of your ant installation (ANT_HOME).
I do however have optional.jar in the ANT_HOME/lib dir. Also I thought
I'd declared xalan so that ant could find it.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Martin van Dijken

P.S. When I replace the xslt task with the style task, which should do
the exact same thing, ant simply skips this task and continues to the
next in line.... Weird...

If you are using the wrapper scripts we ship, you don't need the
classpath definition as ANT_HOME/lib/*.jar has been put on the system
classpath already.
Are you using Ant 1.5? If not, try style instead of xslt, the name
xslt for the task is new in 1.5, but the task itself is available in
1.4.1 under the name style.

Oops, should have read up to here.
Firstly, this shows that you are not using 1.5 ;-)
If <style> is skipped, this means it thinks there is noting to do.
Run Ant with the -verbose switch to see which file timestamps it is
comparing.

Right on the money guys!
The references were correct, only the path after it didn't make sense.
The verbose option made me see that something was actually being tried,
only the files couldn't be located. The style task could be a little
more verbose about that, but that's something for the developers.
Thanks Diane & Stephan

That's says you're running a version of Ant <1.5(Beta*). As for why it
doesn't do anything, try setting the 'force' attribute and see if that
gets it to do anything. If it doesn't, check your referenced properties,
and make sure they're all set, and to what you think they are.
