Rails - Mar 2007 - Make rake tasks of a plugin accessible to the app?

Hi all

I want to add some rake tasks to my app using a plugin. So I added some
tasks to vendor/plugins/my-plugin/Rakefile, but it seems that the tasks
in a plugin''s Rakefile are not available to access from the application
root, but you have to change directory to vendor/plugins/my-plugin. Is
that correct?
I''d really like to make my rake tasks from the plugin accessible by the
whole application. How can I achieve this?

Thanks a lot for help,
Josh

Rails automatically loads vendor/plugins/my-plugin/lib/tasks/*.rake
(following Rake''s auto-loading of lib/tasks/*.rake)

So put the tasks you want showing up in a .rake file and you''re good to
go.

This is true unless you want to run the rake task from cron. For some 
reason, when run from cron, it isnt looking in the vendor directory for 
the rake tasks. Im looking for a way to fix it.

When I run Rake -T from a cron job I get the rake tasks including the 
ones in lib/task, but not the ones from the vendor directory. Any clue 
how to fix this?
