Hi Conor,

thanks a lot for your quick help - now it works!
I'm now using a simple Class.forName(), which works as well:

		try {
			// force class loading, so that no additional build-event
			// is triggered when the messageLogged()-method
			// is invoced:
			Class.forName( "org.apache.tools.ant.BuildEvent" );
		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			throw new BuildException("Unable to load BuildEvent from the classpath.", 
e);
		}


Thanks again,
   Robert
