* Adds a data type definition to the current project.
* Two attributes are
* needed, the name that identifies this data type uniquely, and the full
* name of the class (including the packages) that implements this
* type.
* <p>You can also define a group of data types at once using the file or
* resource attributes. These attributes point to files in the format of
* Java property files. Each line defines a single data type in the
* format:</p>
* <pre>
* typename=fully.qualified.java.classname
* </pre>
* <p>Typedef should be used to add your own types to the system. Data
* types are things likepaths or filesets that can be defined at
* the project level and referenced via their ID attribute.</p>
* <p>Custom data types usually need custom tasks to put them to good use.</p>
