Hi,

How can I use external ant task in Eclipse 3.0.1? I use next line in my
build.xml

<taskdef name="deploy" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask"/>

but I get error:

taskdef class org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask cannot be found

I move catalina-ant.jar into
/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.2/lib, but I don't see it in
Window - Preferences - Ant - Runtime - Tasks - Add Task - Location

We have a bug when adding JARs to the lib directory of the Ant plugin
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=56290
Restarting Eclipse should pick up the new JAR (or use the other workarounds
detailed in the bug).

Alternatively, if you use a taskdef in your buildfile all you need to do is
add the catalina JAR to the Ant runtime classpath.
Window>Preferences>Ant>Runtime>Classpath.
Add the JAR to the global entries.
