you have to use the antlib.xml form of taskdef and not the antcontrib.properties
form. The antcontrib.properties is for ant 1.5 and lower, the
antlib.xml form is for
ant 1.6 and higher.
Use the following:
<project xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<typedef uri="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib"
classpath="PATH_TO_ANTCONTRIB"/>
<ac:for list="a,b,c,d,e" param="iter">
<sequential>
<echo>@{iter}</echo>
</sequential>
</project>
