I agree too - this is an odd problem. Here is what I tried:
I ran this on both Windows and Linux - it worked.
Here is the build.xml I was using:
<project default = "all" xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<target name="all">
<ac:if>
<equals arg1 = "Scot" arg2 = "Floess"/>
<ac:then>
<echo message = "Sure does"/>
</ac:then>
<ac:else>
<echo message = "Sorry no dice"/>
</ac:else>
</ac:if>
</target>
</project>
I had a fresh install of Ant 1.7.0 and put ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar in
$ANT_HOME/lib
A few things I'd look for:
* Make sure, in fact the Ant contrib jar is in Ant's lib dir.
* Make sure you don't have 2 versions of Ant installed. By this I
mean, you could have one version of Ant in /foo and another
version in /bar. You make changes to the version that lives in
/bar. However, the version that lives in /foo is the one in your
path when calling the command "ant"
As Dominique pointed out, it does feel like a classpath issue. That's
why I say make sure you are affecting change to a version of Ant that is
in your environment path.

[antlib:org.apache.tools.ant] Could not load definitions from resource
org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.
It's not complaining about Ant-Contrib's antlib.xml, but Ant's one,
which is rather strange.
Putting Ant-Contrib's jar in $ANT_HOME/lib and doing
xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib" should work (no need for a
<taskdef>), so there's most likely something else at play, probably a
classpath issue somehow... --DD
