I hope this is the right newsgroup for problems with Ant Editor.

I have a problem with the taskdef tag:

<target name="setBase">
<taskdef name="absolutePath" classname="genfwutil.ant.AbsolutePathTask" />
<absolutePath propertyName="BASEDIR" />
</target>

there's a warning in the ant editor:
taskdef class ... cannot be found

but the jar with this class is in the classpath

happens with 3.0.1 final and 3.1.M2
(another developer reported, that its ok with 2.1.3)

any ideas what could be worng ?

thanks

Try adding it in Window->preferences->Ant->Runtime
Add your jar in the classpath there.

I had a similar question in the "platform" group on Sep 22nd - take a look.

As I stated on Sept 22, we have thought about this problem in the past: How
to associate a particular launch configuration with the Ant editor editing
the buildfile.
I have logged https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75187 to track
this issue

Thanks
