Hi Christoph,

Thanks a lot for the reply! 

Yes, I have tried specifying the complete path as well. I copied and pasted the 
<taskdef> that you mailed but that too didn't work for me. I get the same error 
message as before.

Any more pointers on this one?

Thanks again,
Ritu

Hello Ritu,

have you already tried to explicitly define the classpath where the 
ant-contrib.jar can be found? And could you try to give the path to 
"net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" without the leading slash?

For me, the following works fine:

<taskdef uri="antlib:net.sf.contrib" 
resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
        <classpath>
                <fileset dir="lib" includes="ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar" />
        </classpath>
</taskdef>


Regards
Christoph
