perfsonar development work

[Guilherme Fernandes <>]

Hi all,

These are problems with the current version of ant related files in the 
geant2_java-xml-ls in trunk:

- [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource 
org/perfsonar/base/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

This happens because the version of the psbase-ant jar in the lib 
directory is 1.0.20071121 (file 
lib/misc/perfsonar-base-ant-1.0.20071121) , and the version configured 
in the const.properties.template is 1.0.20080204 (variable 
ps-antxml-ver=1.0.20080204).

- [typedef] Could not load definitions from resource 
org/exist/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

The exist-targets.xml needs exist jar files for defining that type (it 
is exist-optional-1.0rc.jar which contains org/exist/ant/antlib.xml, and 
it depends on other exist jars). These jar files are downloaded with the 
"ant lib" command, and shouldn't be a problem in a normal installation 
(since the lib command should be the first one to be issued).
