[Patch] namespace and antlib

[peter reilly <pe...@corvil.com>]

I have posted a patch for namespace support in

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19897

It should cover most of the issues raised 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=105289875900005&r=1&w=2

Arbitrary namespace uris are allowed, uris beginning with "ant" are
reserved.

ant:core is ant's namespace and the default namespace for
definitions.

antlib:<package name> is treated specially, when ant encounters a
component (task, or type) that has a namespace uri of this form,
ant will check if there is a resource of the name packege -> path/antlib.xml
and if so it will load it up.

Peter.

does that include the optional tasks?

If you reserve the ant* URI space, does that mean it will be
impossible to add third party tasks to the default namespace or does
"and the default namespace for definitions" mean that all <antlib>s
without an URI will end up in the default namespace?

searching in the core classloader?  Or do you envision a special (and
separate) plugin store from which to load antlibs on demand?
