Description

Recent versions of ant have a typedef syntax that allows definition of a number of ant tasks all in one typedef call, and some sort of URI scoping of tasks. The syntax looks something like this:

  <typedef resource="my/package/antlib.xml" classpathref="my.package.classpath" uri="urn:my-package" />

It seems like this would be more convenient than requiring developers to use taskdef for each task they want to use. We should implement this for OpenJPA.

Comments

Added antlib files. Usage:

<project>
    <taskdef resource="org/apache/openjpa/jdbc/ant/antlib.xml"/>
    
    <task name="compile">
        <kodoc>
        </kodoc>
    </task>
</project>

I've done manual testing only.
