I have put in the optional.jar and the oro.jar file in /ant/lib and I still get: BUILD FAILED
p:\cpdev\main\src\run_build.xml:23: Could not create task of type: classpath. Co mmon solutions are to use taskdef to declare your task, or, if this is an option al task, to put the optional.jar in the lib directory of your ant installation ( ANT_HOME). at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.makeTask(UnknownElement.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.maybeConfigure(UnknownElement.jav a:83) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:216) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:184) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:202) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:601) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:560) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:454) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.start(Main.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:176) Thanks Marcus
