OK.

If I remove optional.jar from %ANT_HOME%\lib but define it in the MimeMail
taskdef along with J2ee.jar,
then Ant can't find the MimeMail task.

ie

	<taskdef name="mimeMail"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail">
		<classpath>
			<pathelement location="${project}/lib/j2ee/j2ee.jar"/>
			<pathelement location="${project}/tools/ant/lib/optional.jar"/>
		</classpath>
	</taskdef>

Gives

D:\source\main\buildScripts\NightlyBuild.xml:44: taskdef class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.MimeMail cannot be found
        at
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer.addDefinition(Definer.java:176)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Definer.execute(Definer.java:114)

etc

But if I define the taskdef for MimeMail as above and don't remove
optional.jar from %ANT_HOME%\lib then I get


D:\source\main\buildScripts\NightlyBuild.xml:172: Could not create task of
type: mimeMail due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Address
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.createTask(Project.java:509)
        at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.makeTask(UnknownElement.java:148)
        at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.maybeConfigure(UnknownElement.java:83)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:216)


So it wuld seem that Ant definitely requires the optional.jar in its
classpath when executed, and can't pick it up from the taskdef classpath
attribute.

It also seems that Ant requires that any libraries that are needed by an
optional task to also be included in Ant's classpath.
Ie these classes can't be specified via the classpath attribute of taskdef.

So either I'm doing something totally wrong, or the classpath attribute
doesn't appear to function.
