That's not what he means - ant has a number of optional tasks that
require extra jars, and the "error" messages in this case are just to
tell you that you don't have these jars. It shouldn't fail your build
until you decide to use these optional tasks.
1) how are you running ant? from the comand line?
2) what happens when you type "ant -version" at the command prompt?
3) try this even more limited project file:
<project name="main" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="main">
<echo>hello world</echo>
</target>
</project>
what happens when you run this?
/t
