You are describing tasks bundled as an antlib. The documentation is a bit burried under "Concepts and Types". https://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/antlib.html What you do is to put your tasks in a jar file and add an XML file using the antlib format to it as well. If your file lives in com/example/tasks/antlib.xml inside the jar and it is on Ant's classpath then <project xmlns:my="antlib:com.example.tasks"> will load your defintions and put them into the my XML namespace. If you want to avoid putting the jar in the classpath you can still use <typedef> as described in the last example in typedef's manual.
