Thanks to everyone who extended help on this issue! May be ant-contrib-1.0b2-src has bugs in it. I downloaded ant-contrib-0.6.src and on using this version all the issues went away (thanks Ferosh!).

Best,
Ritu

Thanks a lot Srikanth! 

No luck even after specifying the taskdef in this manner as well...sighs!

Regards,
Ritu

Hi Ritu,

This is how I have defined the taskdef for "for".

	<taskdef name="for" taskname="for"
classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ForTask" />

The ant-contrib.jar is in the ANT_HOME\lib folder.
I run it through my IDE and this is all the settings required for it.
This is on Windows.

You might have to replace the same with "ExecTask" as in
<taskdef name="exec" taskname="exec"
classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ExecTask" />


Regards,
Srikanth

Hi Christoph,

Thanks a lot for the reply! 

Yes, I have tried specifying the complete path as well. I copied and
pasted the <taskdef> that you mailed but that too didn't work for me. I
get the same error message as before.

Any more pointers on this one?

Thanks again,
Ritu

Hello Ritu,

have you already tried to explicitly define the classpath where the 
ant-contrib.jar can be found? And could you try to give the path to 
"net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" without the leading slash?

For me, the following works fine:

<taskdef uri="antlib:net.sf.contrib" 
resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
        <classpath>
                <fileset dir="lib" includes="ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar" />
        </classpath>
</taskdef>


Regards
Christoph
