Lukas Bradley commented on MANTRUN-56:
--------------------------------------

It would be great to have a solution for this problem.  The inclusion of the optional Ant tasks by default would be fantastic.

>    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?
