java.lang.Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException
org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
org.apache.tools.ant.UnsupportedElementException

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class UnsupportedElementException extends BuildException
Used to report attempts to set an unsupported element When the attempt to set the element is made, the code does not not know the name of the task/type based on a mapping from the classname to the task/type. However one class may be used by a lot of task/types. This exception may be caught by code that does know the task/type and it will reset the message to the correct message. This will be done once (in the case of a recursive call to handlechildren).

Since:
  Ant 1.6.3
