Appendix B. Core tasks

This appendix contains a reference of all core tasks, i.e. all tasks that are needed to build a basic project.

This reference lists the tasks alphabetically by the name of the classes that implement the tasks. So if you are searching for the reference to the<copy>tag, for example, you will want to look at the reference ofCopyTask.

B.1 AdhocTaskdefTask

The AdhocTaskdefTask allows you to define a task within your build file.

Note that you should use <![CDATA[ ... ]]> so that you don't have to quote entities within your <adhoc-task></adhoc-task> tags.

Table B.1: Attributes
