 I too have sometimes problems with adding new tasks (e.g. antcontrib). =
I solved it by adding the jars into the current ANT/lib-path. I still =
havent find out why this sometimes fails.

I use this to add antcontrib:

  <!-- antcontrib Tasks (z.B. for-Task)-->
  <taskdef resource=3D"net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
    <classpath>
      <pathelement location=3D"${ant.contrib.jar}" />
    </classpath>
  </taskdef>

My jarname is =
D:/Programme/Ant/apache-ant-1.6.5/lib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar


You use: ant-contrib-0.3.jar

Is this the problem?

As can be seen below, relevant code is at beginning outside of relevant =

<project name=3D"Build" default=3D"all" basedir=3D".">

	<!-- path to the svnant libraries. Usually they will be located in  =
ANT_HOME/lib -->
	<path id=3D"project.classpath">
		<pathelement location=3D"${svnjavahl.jar}" />
		<pathelement location=3D"${svnant.jar}" />

	</path>

	<!-- load the svn task -->
  	<taskdef resource=3D"svntask.properties" =
classpathref=3D"project.classpath"/>

        <typdef resource=3D"net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" />

	<!-- load ant-contrib-0.3 task -->

               </classpath>

        <property name=3D"oracle.xlclient" =
value=3D"C:/oracle/xlclient"/>
        <property name=3D"oracle.xlclient.ext" =
value=3D"${oracle.xlclient}/ext"/>
        <property name=3D"oracle.xlclient.lib" =
value=3D"${oracle.xlclient}/lib"/>

Hope this helps your means of grateful help.
