I’m trying to use the foreach loop in an Ant script but I get the message: Problem: failed to create task or type foreach Cause: The name is undefined.
I don’t understand why this doesn’t work. It is not a 3rd party library. It is a standard task that would be part of the latest version of Ant (1.8).
<target name="parse">
<echo message="The first five letters of the alphabet are:"/>
<foreach param="instance" list="a,b,c,d,e">
</foreach>
</target>
No, it’s not. At least I can’t find it in the list of core and optional tasks in the ant manual.
It seems to be part of the ant-contrib project and thus needs to be installed separately.
