Am I missing something? Does ant-contrib's <for> task support this kind
of "for" looping?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply and suggestion Peter. I tried out a thing and it
worked
for me. Here it is.
Set the classpath till directory net and then you need to include this
taskdef.
<taskdef name="for" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ForTask" />
in your script and the script is running all fine and well..
I shall try out the solution Peter provided.
Thanks and Regards,

Use the antlib:net.sf.antcontrib namespace
<ac:for param="i" begin="0" step="1" end="5" xmns:ac="antlib:
net.sf.antcontrib">
<sequential>
<echo>i is @{i}</echo>
</sequential>
</ac:for>
Also, you should upgrade to ant 1.6.5 as ant1.6.5 fixes
a number of bugs found in ant 1.6.3.
(or ant 1.7.0 when it comes out in a few weeks).
