You should reply to the list, everyone can benefit from the answers. These are new tasks so you need to add a taskdef.
<taskdef name="ask-user" classname="com.sns.tools.ant.taskdefs.AskUser"/> You need to have the .class in your classpath in the com.sns.tools.ant.taskdefs package. Maybe: \jakarta-ant-1.4.1\classes\com\sns\tools\ant\taskdefs\AskUser.class and add \jakarta-ant-1.4.1\classes\ to your classpath. Or you could just jar up the directory "com" and add the jar to the optional directory. Let me know how it goes...
