You have to remove the second line containing "<project>" ...

I copy-pasted the Java code and Ant script from your post, and here is what I get, without any change:

E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001\build.xml:27: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.

Total time: 0 seconds


Then, after I removed the line "<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="jar">":

E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

compile:
   [javac] Compiling 1 source file to E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001\classes

jar:
     [jar] Building jar: E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001\MyTask.jar

use:
[helloworld] Hello World

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 12 seconds
E:\Java\Ant\issue#0001>

System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

.................

same entity

i tried to change the tages but i cant solve it , so did the above build.xml correct i can see their is two < project .....> but when i delete the second one i cant compile it thanks in advance David Brown wrote:
Hello, running Ant means ant parses and executes a so-called build.xml. XML 
documents in general must be what is termed as: well-formed. This means that 
all XML documents have a singleton parent entity element. This means that if a 
generic XML document had a parent entity element structured as:



then to keep faith with the well-formed document rule the corresponding end 
element would have to come at the end of the target XML document:



The following links are much more authoritative and comprehensive than the 
above squibble:

http://www.w3.org/XML/

http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html

Ultimately, you have something amiss with your build.xml that Ant is trying to 
parse. To get help from one of the Ant gurus you will have to create a much 
more meaningful message with more information:

OS: Debian or Windows or something
Ant version: 1.5.x or 1.7 or something
Ant environment such as: ant -debug output captured from the console.
Default Ant target being execute from build.xml.


HTH.
