You may want to look at <http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies> which tells you the various JAR dependencies for each task. You also need to read about each specific ant task too and see what jars are needed.
I haven't used any optional task, but I am using the AntContrib tasks and the mail task and those needed extra jar files which I put in the "lib" directory under Ant (version 7.0). I also had to add a "taskdef" task to my build.xml. Wonder if you have to do something similar with the optional ant tasks?
