Description Chris Nelson 2001-07-18 20:20:46 UTC 
When I try to use an optional task such as junit, I get a "taskdef not found" 
message from ant.  I have tried putting ant-optional.jar in my netbeans/lib/ext 
director.  This task works when I use it outside of netbeans, so it appears 
that this is a classpath error of some sort.  I even tried explicitly adding a 
taskdef element to my build.xml file with a classpath defined and it still 
didn't work.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2001-07-23 10:15:41 UTC 
Please read the online help. Do not move ant-optional.jar; place
junit.jar in netbeans/lib/ext/ and restart and it should work.
