I do not think it is a simple classpath problem
because the same physical layout works on all my
other machines, but under newer versions of Java.
In every case, I am using Ant 1.7.1, and I copied
ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar to the $ANT_HOME/lib
directory. The ant-contrib JAR appears in the
ant -diagnostics listing. And I am able to see
net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml in the JAR if I look
at it with $JAVA_HOME/bin/jar tf. But for some
reason <taskdef> seems to be unable to find it on this one machine.

Hello,
This doesnt look like a Java problem.
This seems to be a classpath problem.
The error says, that the whole antcontrib.jar could not be found.
Antlib.xml is inside the antcontrib.jar and defines the tasks of antcontrib.
The antcontrib.jar is probably not on the
classpath of the Ant you are using in this case.
Is antcontrib in the lib-dir of the Ant you are using?

Betreff: ant-contrib with Java 1.4?
Thanks for your suggestion to use ant-contrib
and <for> for the logging I needed over a file list.
It is working on most of my platforms that have
JDKs of 1.4.2 and above. But it fails on one
that has only 1.4. I've found no documentation
listing this as a specific limitation, but that
seems to be the only environmental difference
between an HPUX where it works and one where it doesn't.
The error is:
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from
resource net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml. It could not be found.
Is that a known limitation? Or can anyone
suggest another way to get around this
error? The failure to accept <taskdef>
basically kills my ability to use any of the
tasks from ant-contrib. (I'm trying to find a
newer Java to swinstall on this machine, but
keep running into dependency problems.)
