Is there a preferred method for calling ant-contrib from your build scripts in such a way that platform differences won't get in the way?
I originally prepared my build from Ubuntu, but when running on OSX with ant-contrib installed via Homebrew, I end up with errors. Seemingly because the contrib jar can't be found.
The preferred way to install Ant-Contrib is mentioned in this page:
Either install it under the lib folder of the Ant installation, and just import it using:
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
Save the Jar file in a known location, perhaps relative to the buildfile, and specify its path:
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="path_to_ant_contrib_jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
