RE: Using XDoclet with Magic

Best approach is to create a new spell (magic plugin).  You can do this
by creating a new project containing the following build.xml:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <project name="my-xdoclet-spell" default="install" basedir="." 
      xmlns:x="antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools">
    <x:home/>
    <import file="${magic.templates}/standard.xml"/>
    <target name="build" depends="standard.build">
      <x:declare/>
    </target>
  </project>

The <x:declare> target will generate a plugin descriptor using
information about the "my-xdoclet-spell" declared in you index.xml file.
The following is an example of a <plugin> declaration in index.xml:

  <plugin basedir="somewhere/xdoclet">
    <info>
      <group>somewhere</group>
      <name>my-xdoclet-spell</name>
      <type>plugin</type>
    </info>
    <dependencies>
      <include key="hybernate"/>
    </dependencies>
    <tasks>
      <taskdef name="xdoclet" class="org.hybernate.whatever.TaskThing"/>
    </tasks>
  </plugin>

The important point is to declare the taskdef in the plugin definition
such that it refers to a valid task class in the classpath declared by
the plugin descriptor.  With the above I place ... you can use your
plugin task inside a build.xml as follows:

  <target name=" xdoclet" depends="prepare">
    <x:plugin name="xdoclet" 
       uri="plugin: somewhere/xdoclet/my-xdoclet-spell "/>
    <xdoclet/>
  </target>

Cheers, Steve.
