Steve,
I too had the same problem. You have the optional.jar
(jakarta-ant-1.4.1-optional.jar) in Ant's lib directory (and therefore
the classpath) but it still gives you the taskdef error.
I found that you have to get the real junit.jar (www.junit.org) and put
that in the classpath too.
I'm not sure if Peter meant that you need junit.jar when you build, or
when you run, Ant.
Andy.
