You should reply to the list, everyone can benefit from the answers.
These are new tasks so you need to add a taskdef.

  <taskdef name=3D"ask-user"
classname=3D"com.sns.tools.ant.taskdefs.AskUser"/>
You need to have the .class in your classpath in the
com.sns.tools.ant.taskdefs
package.
Maybe:
\jakarta-ant-1.4.1\classes\com\sns\tools\ant\taskdefs\AskUser.class
and add \jakarta-ant-1.4.1\classes\ to your classpath.

Or you could just jar up the directory "com" and add the jar to the
optional directory.

Let me know how it goes...
Alan.

This looks good, I`m not sure how to go about using these tasks as I am
quite new to ant. I compile the src but where does the .class file want
to
be placed so that ant may see it ?
