[platform-ant-dev] Custom taskdef in build file failing with ClassCastEx

[Mark Rowell <Mark.Rowell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Have posted this to news group as well but (a) my news reader cannot connect
to Eclipse news server and (b) web interface does not show any postings...

Anway,

I have an Ant build file that I currently use from cmd line and with Forte.
I have several custom tasks defined in it. 
These all work fine. However today, I downloaded Eclipse RC1 (Forte is too
slow, too much of a memory hog etc) hoever
when I try to execute the "Run Ant" option, I get a failure shown on the
"Run Ant" dialog when Eclipse parses a custom
task definition. The failure I get is a ClassCastException. Defining the
custom task from within Eclipse works
but I would rather prefer to define the custom task in the build file
itself. I have tried various things to get this to
work, namely:

	- using absolute and relative paths in the build.xml file
	- classpaths definition for the custom task using a ref-id and
inline

all to no avail. Question is, as a newbie, am I doing anything compltely
stupid.

Thanks

Mark Rowell
