Specifically, I provide the following taskdef:

<taskdef 
   name="filelister" 
   classname="antTest.FileListerTask"
/>

And then use it:

<filelister>
   <fileset dir="antWorkspace" includes="**/*" />
</filelister>

And I get a NullPointerException when using Ant 1.6.2, but 
things work fine when using 1.6.0.  I'm running the program 
from Eclipse 3.0.  The antTest.FileListerTask is in the 
project's classpath.

Stack trace follows...
