Class loading is done (almost always) parent first. So basically if the Ant Task is up high in the classloader hierarchy (such as in the ant lib directory) then every class it needs would need to be at the same level or above (such as CLASSPATH environment variable or the JDK extensions). The dependent classes wont be found if they are lower (such as in a taskdef classloader). So either move the dependant files up, or the task itself down.

It all works when I start ant itself with the complete classpath. but this is not what I want - I would like to execute my task with the same classpath / classloader that I defined for the taskdef.
