Hi, I have a new task that builds as part of the same project in which it is defined.

So I try to use <compileTask> but had several surprises in the process:

1) Must declare <compileTask> in a <target> eventhough it is executed at parsing time.

I would have thought that this task would be used just like <taskdef>.

2) The destination directory for the task, seem to be required to exists and there is no way to

create it during compilation because the <mkdir> will not execute until compile time.

Which means that one needs to put the task in some "always existing place" not clear how.

3) So I put it in $ANT_HOME/lib.

4) <compileTask> does not seem to declare the task, so I had to add <taskdef> element,

but now this taskdef cannot find the class for the task.

I would have thougt that one would have declared the <compileTask> in the same place as <taskdef> and that the task would have declared the new task (even is up to date) and know which classpath to use to get it, given the destdir attribute in <compileTask>.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Jose Alberto
