RE: Magic - included resources for custom Ant task (magic plugin?)

Cameron:

If I understand correctly - what you need to do is to declare the
xsd2jibx as a resource with its associated dependencies.  

For example - in your index.xml (or wherever you have xsd2jibx declared)
you could do something like:

  <resource>
    <info>
      <group>xsd2jibx</group>
      <name>xsd2jibx</name>
    </info>
    <dependencies>
      <include key="log4j"/>
      <include key="jibx-run"/>
      <include key="xpp3" />
      <include key="commons-logging"/>
      <include key="jaxmejs"/>
    </dependencies>
  </resource>

Then inside you build.xml you can reference the BUILD path using the
following statement:

    <x:path key=" xsd2jibx" id="the-path"/>

The 'the-path' can now referenced as a refid argument in any ant task.
Fpr example:

   <taskdef name="xsd2jibx"
classname="org.jibx.xsd2jibx.GeneratorAntTask">
     <classpath>
       <path refid="the-path"/>
     </classpath>
   </taskdef>

Does this solve the problem?

Cheers, Steve.
