Just to follow up, in case anyone else has a similar problem: Adding the class file location to the global classpath made no difference. Creating a custom jar in ant/lib made no difference.
Using 'mycontent' instead of 'MyContent' for the task name allows the script below to work as expected. I don't understand why. But I'm happy for now.

Ant1.5Beta2, j2sdk1.4.0, Win2000. MyContainer is a copy of sequential MyContent is a copy of the sample task. MyContainer works with standard tasks, but custom tasks won't load MyContent works inside standard TaskContainers. <target name="run"> <taskdef name="MyContent" classname="com.yomobile.tasks.MyContentTask" classpath="classes"/> <taskdef name="MyContainer" classname="com.yomobile.tasks.MyContainerTask" classpath="classes"/> <echo message="Hello world from outside"/> <MyContainer> <MyContent/> <!-- !!Causes a class loader failure --> <echo message="Hello world from inside"/> </MyContainer> <sequential> <MyContent/> <echo message="Hello world from inside"/> </sequential> <MyContent/> </target> I've tried adding loaderref to the taskdef's, but that made no difference. Any ideas for fixes or work-arounds would be appreciated.
