Writing a custom ant task

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a custom ant task going forth as Robin describes in her excellent article referred to by this post.

I've generated my plugin and placed it in the buildtoolkit folder. When I run my build, I get the following error. Can anybody help me?

C:\temp\build.xml:15: Only antlib URIs can be located from the URI alone,not the URI


15: <taskdef taskname="testbackendapi" classname="xtool.backend.tasks.TestBackendAPI"/>

OMG! the answer was SO easy!

the attribute "taskname" should be renamed to "name"....... argh!

The correct taskdef

<taskdef name="testbackendapi" classname="xtool.backend.tasks.TestBackendAPI"/>
