Description Jesse Glick 2001-03-06 13:44:44 UTC 
Currently the Ant module provides an API to register task definitions (a name
and a class) with a special static registry. This could be replaced with lookup.
For now it is used only by the apisupport <-> ant integration.

Jarda, does this make sense? Also there are two kinds of registration: (1) a
task (subclass of ant's Task class); (2) a data type (no particular superclass).
So probably there should be an Ant subfolder under Services, with one folder for
tasks, and one for types, where in each folder you have e.g.:

	nbinstaller[org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-ant-InstallTask].instance

What is the best way to implement this? I could use FolderInstance, but is
Lookup better, and if so how do I request a subfolder?

Target milestone -> 3.3
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2001-08-15 02:20:29 UTC 
Pretty much implemented in working sources, but a little problematic
due to lookup bugs: works fine until you try to reinstall the Ant
module at which point the usual problem arises, <nbinstaller> is not
defined, or some ClassCastException's appear, etc.--version skew
and/or lookup nonrefresh.
