[mdr-users] Re: MDRAnt task compatibility with Ant 1.7

I ran into a similar problem.  It turns out that the MdrTask class does
something funny:  for each task type it knows about, it registers it
redundantly, e.g.:

    public Instantiate createInstantiate( ) {
        return new Instantiate();
    }
    
    public void addInstantiate( Instantiate subtask ) {
        subtask.setTask( this );
        subtasks.add( subtask );
    }

This used to be OK before ant 1.7, but ant 1.7 gets confused when it
sees both.

I forgot to log a bug for this; I wonder if it's been fixed in CVS yet.
 I didn't feel like rebuilding MDR from the latest sources (especially
since the old build we're using has been rock-solid), so I hacked it by
editing the .class file with a hex editor and renaming the createXXX
methods to kreateXXX.  That "fixed" it.
