webpshere application server 6 , ant and versions of ant

Hello all;

We are going to use webpshere application server 6.0 in our project.By the past i always used the standard version of ant, the latest one(1.6.5) combined with ant-contrib and some other useful ant external tools.
Now i am worriying about the following issues:
-i understand that WAS comes with its own ant version: is it jus a  matter of libraries and jars injection in the standard version of ant?Can i continue using the standart ant while importing the specific WAS jars?
-on which ant version is the WAS v 6 built?
-Has anyone experienced this and can provide links , docs , advise?

Thanks a lot for any information.

Regards;
Hind Lwahhabi.

I provided that link as a starting point for further research. The 
extension tasks that WAS makes available and how to taskdef them is 
documented elsewhere in the InfoCenter.

I will pass your approval onto the developers who are responsible for our 
bundling of Ant.

there doesnt appear to be any relevant docs there. Are teh tasks not 
exported as a library for taskdef.

On a more positive note, I am pleased to see that websphere, unlike 
weblogic renames their version of ant.bat :)

Continuing past errors

Posted by Michael Pelz Sherman <mp...@yahoo.com>.
Hi,

I'm working on a script that I want to continue executing even if an error is
encountered. The script uses the "foreach" task from ant-contrib to execute the
same task repeatedly with different arguments. If one of the executions fails,
I want the script to keep going through the rest rather than stopping
completely.

What's the best "ant way" to do this?

Thanks,
- Michael

IIRC yes, but good luck finding all the classes that you need to make the 
WAS-specific tasks work :-)

Do you mean the version that we used to build WAS 6.0 or the version that 
ships with WAS 6.0? If you meant the former we used a custom build 1.5.4 
with some selected patches from the 1.6 branch, plus our own custom 
extensions. If you meant the later, if you run "ws_ant -version" it should 
tell you, but IIRC it's 1.5.4.
