Ant-contrib <for> task

[Slickscorp]

Hi,

I am using ant 1.6.5 and am an ant beginner.

I found the ant-contrib tasks which have been very helpful in writing my
ant script.  Now I decide to make use of the <for> task and I get the
traditional error we've all seen before.

BUILD FAILED
<path>/build.xml:902: Could not create task or type of type: for.

Simplified code is below, and the failure occurs on the <for> task only.
Other ant-contrib tasks like <propertyselector, sortlist> shown below,
have no problem, so its not that the jar file can't be located. I also
tried cutting and pasting the first example of the <for> task from the
documentation, but this has the same problem.

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1' ?>
<project name="MY_PROJECT" default="post-install-notes" basedir="." >

    <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>

    <property name="post-install-notes-1" value="Hello" />
    <property name="post-install-notes-2" value="World" />

    <target name="post-install-notes" >
        <echo message="POST INSTALL NOTES" />

        <propertyselector property="install-notes"
match="post-install-notes.*" />
        <sortlist property="install-notes-sorted"
value="${install-notes}" />

        <for list="${install-notes-sorted}" param="property-name" >
            <sequential>
                <echo message="@{property-name}" />
            </sequential>
        </for>
    </target>
</project>


Any help would be appreciated.

Hi !

I just faced the same problem with ant-contrib 1.02b.
The answer is simple, if you open net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties file, you'll see that at the end :

# Tasks Requiring Ant 1.6 or higher
#for=net.sf.antcontrib.logic.For
math=net.sf.antcontrib.math.MathTask

As you can see, the FOR task is simply commented ... (I don't know why).
Just uncomment the line, update the jar and you're done !

Where did you even get version ant-contrib 1.02b?  I don't see it on sourceforge.

I mispelled the name of the jar, the version was the 1.0b2.
