Description

Apache Commons has a maven ant plugin (called commons-build-plugin[1]) which has a dependency on Ant 1.7.0 and uses the loadresource task (which was added to Ant in version 1.7.0). The plugin works fine for maven 2.0.8, but after upgrading to 2.0.9 fails with the message "Could not create task or type of type: loadresource." (see attached output).

This has been raised on the maven dev list in the following thread:
http://markmail.org/message/tv37c37fjyzx6l6k

I am attaching a simple pom.xml that reproduces this problem with the following command:
mvn commons:jira-page

(N.B. create either a "xdocs" or "src/xdoc" directory in the project)
