I think this should say...
public class HelloWorld extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task {
...
This is an Ant task, not a stantalone java program. Ant contains the main
method somewhere. It's not necessary to know for writing tasks. If you really
want to find out though, look at the script ant or ant.bat in the $ANT_HOME/bin
directory. This wrapper script sets up the classpath and calls java with the
class containing the main method as an arg.
Hope this helps,
