I have this basic build.xml:


The classes are packed into catalina-ant5.jar and placed in /usr/share/ant/lib. I thought Ant should load the classes automatically, but it doesn't. Invoking Ant gives me this:



The following command doesn't help either, specifying the classpath in detail:


I could use some help, please.

Did you take a look at whether the jar file actually contains that class?

Don't confuse the classpath for Ant itself with the classpath for the taskdef. You probably need to add a classpath definition to the task. For some tasks, I've actually had to do 2 classpaths - one for the taskdef itself and one for the defined task's execution.
