"typedef" does not appear to be working in ant 1.4.1 (See bug 4452). I found
that "typedef" was fixed for ant 1.5.  

I had to modify the default.properties file in the types package manually
for ant 1.4.1 to make my typedef visible to ant.

I asked here for a workaround but none was posted.

hth,
don.

try using it inside a target, rather than outside...I think you need to be
running ant1.5 to use a new datatype outside a target
