Description Rodrigo Peretti CLA 2002-08-06 09:39:53 EDT 
From the newsgroup:

I fixed this by editing the Ant preferences and adding the bin folder for 
the XDE2UML project. Is this required for all Ant extensions now? I 
thought the extension point was supposed to provide the library, or is it 
that Ant doesn't know about the -dev switch to use the bin folder instead 
of the runtime jar file and needs the jar file to exist?
Comment 1 Rodrigo Peretti CLA 2002-08-06 09:43:39 EDT 
Should be careful when fixing since it will not be trivial. In this case, the 
bin folder should *only* contain the source for the Ant extra JAR with the 
task and nothing else.

For example, we currently have the resources plug-in contributing an extra JAR 
for the Ant classpath. If we go ahead with this fix and add the bin folder to 
the classpath, the Ant classpath will also contain the .class files for the 
Resources plug-in but it should *not* have it.

p.s., does it make sense to have a bug ASSIGNED to the inbox?
Comment 3 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-10-01 08:15:24 EDT 
No, you are right

I will attempt to fix this up today.  Ant is in a state of flux..we will get 
there ;-).  Bugzilla has not helped us here "as the process many bugs at once" 
feature is flaky at best.

Nothing planned for 2.1
Comment 5 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-06-28 16:34:18 EDT 
No plans for any additions here.

The user can configure to add the appropriate output location or JARs to the 
Ant runtime classpath.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
