taskdef should offer help when class not found
Summary: taskdef should offer help when class not found
Product: Ant
Version: 1.5
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Other
Component: Build Process
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: 1010apache.org@ostermiller.com
Currently if you put this line in your build.xml file
<taskdef name="mytask" classname="com.mydomain.MyVeryOwnTask"/>
you will get this message:
BUILD FAILED
build.xml:10: taskdef class com.mydomain.MyVeryOwnTask cannot be found
It would be nice if you could put a line like this in your build file
<taskdef name="mytask" classname="com.mydomain.MyVeryOwnTask"
help="Please go to http://mydomain.com/MyVeryOwnTask.html to download."\>
so that you would get this message:
BUILD FAILED
build.xml:10: taskdef class com.mydomain.MyVeryOwnTask cannot be found
Please go to http://mydomain.com/MyVeryOwnTask.html to download.
This would allow somebody to take your build file and get builds up and running
much more quickly.
