org.apache.tools.ant.Task#getProject() returns null in custom ant task when called from within JUnit [message #327035]

Hi all,

im am developing a custom ant task.
I had a problem with getProject() returning null.
After looking at Bugzilla 34466
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34466) I mananged to get
it work in the exported plug-in.
However when called from within a JUnit plug-in test or a self-hosted
runtime workbench, the problem is still present.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Cheers,
Lars

Hi Lars,

Have you checked out
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/ant_developing.htm
It lays out the best practises for testing custom ant tasks or types.

Thanks Darin,

the solution was to exclude the ant-bin folder from the Plug-in runtime
classpath.

Cheers,
Lars
