help with style task

["Sonnek, Ryan" <Ry...@bpc.com>]

this is a very active list, so i'm reposting my message with a more accurate
subject.  hopefully someone who's worked with this can point me in the right
direction.  the docs are great, but i've been stuck for quite some time.

i've looked through the mail archive, and
went through the FAQ on using the JUnit and style task w/o having
optional.jar in ANT_HOME.  i've had junit working fine for monthes this way,
and now i'd like to add style for checkstyle.  after going through the docs
again, i remembered that i have to taskdef the style task, but it's not
quite there.  i think i'm closer, but there's something not quite right
about it.  here's my target now:

    <taskdef name="style"
     classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.XSLTProcess" 
     classpath="${ant-optional.path};${xalan.path}" />
     
    <echo message="convert xml report to html." />
    <style in="${project.doc.checkstyle}/checkstyle.xml"
out="${project.doc.checkstyle}/checkstyle.html"
style="${project.doc.checkstyle}/checkstyle.xsl">
      <classpath>
        <pathelement location="${ant-optional.path}" />
        <pathelement location="${xalan.path}" />
      </classpath>
    </style>

the error i get now is:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/TraXLiaison

if i specify TraxLiason as the taskdef classname, i get an error as well.
any help is greatly appreciated!

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

You might need to fork the VM.  Is there an option for forking in the
<style> task?  If so, use it and see what happens.
