classloader problem?
I think I have a classloader problem.
I've made a custom task that looks through classes for a method annotation,
then makes a report. I've got junit tests that work in my IDE showing that
the annotations can be found. But when I run the task the annotations are
not recognized. .... That is, the annotation is there. I can read its type.
But if I ask the method for an annotation matching the class it doesn't
match. (Yes, the class matches the reported type.: e.g.,
com.foo.MyAnnotation.class)
So I think I have a classloader problem. My task accepts a path to find the
classes with the annotations. It creates a classloader from the ant project,
passing in the given path. My theory is that the classes loaded by my task
are on a different classloader than the MyAnnotation.class and that is why
they don't match. ... Sound right? .... If so how do I get them on the same
classloader?
Thanks in advance,
boz

Ah ha! That was it! ... I was ...
getProject().createClassLoader(classpath);
... when I needed to ...
getProject().createClassLoader(MyAnnotation.class.getClassLoader();,
classpath);
THANKS Peter!

Also remember to use the classloader that loaded the
custom task as the parent for the new classloader
created in the task.

I think that hypothesis sounds right, but don't know where to deal with
it. Can you load the tags you want to look for in the classloader that
you are loading the classes in?
