RE: [platform-ant-dev] Buildfile validation

[Darin Swanson <Darin_Swanson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh if only the world were that simple. :-)

I have a prototype working but it is not exposed to the end user in its current state.
Things get really messy fast with tasks / types that have been defined through a taskdef or typedef or if user has added using the Eclipse Ant runtime preferences. 
This opens up a whole world of dealing with a classloader to properly validate the build file.

One thought is just to validate the "well known" tasks as a first step and ignore the undefined tasks / types.

Ideas are welcome...see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=50302

Thanks
Darins

Yes, though it can only do so for tasks that do not implement
org.apache.tools.ant.DynamicConfigurator.

I believe Darin has code in there now that does this.
