The goal I'm trying to achieve is to dynamically handle task names. In
oder words, a task name change should not affect the Java implementation.
In order to do this, two things are required:
1. The task definition in the plugin.xml should pick the task name from
plugin.properties
2. The parent element of the task should be able to dynamically handle it.
The first requirement is achiavable using as task name the property
defined in the plugin.properties prefixed with %. Although this works
with other extension points, it doesn't seem to work with antTask.
The second should be easily done using the polymorphism introduced in
Ant 1.6. In other words, using addConfigured(X) instead of
addConfiguredX(X). But this doesn't seem to work either. The message I
got is :
"The X type doesn't support the nested Y element"
Has anyone tried the any of the above ?
Driver used is eclipse-SDK-I20060322-1335-win32

I have tried it again and both requirements work. I'm still not sure why
it did not work the first time. I guess it was a sum of things that all
worked against me :-)
