I'm having trouble adding my custom ant script task to RTC build engine.

In RTC Eclipse Client, I created a plugin with a custom ant task class extending org.apache.tools.ant.Task. I exported the plugin into jar. I put the jar in RTC Eclipse Client dropins folder. I launched RTC Eclipse Client and could use the custom ant task without any issue.

However, I then tried to put the same jar into RTC build engine plugins directory. jazz\buildsystem\buildengine\eclipse\plugins.

Then I tried to access the custom task with RTC build engine. I consistently got an error message saying the task class can not be found.

Hi Tao,

Does the RTC build engine contain any white spaces in its path?
