I've come into difficulties on an build.xml file which I'd appreciate
some pointers in solving. I've been running a build on a subdirectory of
a programme to add in contributor code but keep getting the following
error:
Buildfile: M:\bedework\bedework\projects\contrib\build.xml
init:
build-source:
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource
net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties. It could not be found.
init:
build:
BUILD FAILED
M:\bedework\bedework\projects\contrib\build.xml:117: The following error
occurred while executing this line:
M:\bedework\bedework\projects\contrib\build\buildjar.xml:84: Problem:
failed to create task or type if
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken
place.
The line 117 is:
<ant antfile="${buildjar}" inheritRefs="true" target="build" >
   <property name="build.jar.file"
          location="${generated.jar.file}" />
</ant>
And the section including line 84 is:
<uptodate property="build.jar.uptodate"
        targetfile="${build.jar.file}" >
   <srcfiles refid="base.java.sources" />
   <srcfiles refid="base.resource.files"/>
   <!-- change this to a fileset
   <srcfiles refid="compile.classpath" />
   -->
  </uptodate>

  <if>
   <isset property="build.jar.uptodate"/>
   <then>
    <echo message="**** ${build.jar.file} is up to date" />
   </then>
  </if>

  <if>
   <not>
    <isset property="build.jar.uptodate"/>
   </not>
   <then>
    <echo message="**** ${build.jar.file} needs rebuilding" />

    <!-- Delete jar file -->
    <delete file="${build.jar.file}"/>

    <dirname property="build.jar.dir" file="${build.jar.file}"/>

    <mkdir dir="${build.jar.dir}" />
It appears to be failing at the first <if> but I'm not sure how to
correct this at all.

I don't know if this is helping the error but I've been trying to get
use a copy of ant at ANT_HOME but there is also a project build of Ant
(1.7.0) in the M:\bedework directory. The recommended command was
../ant.sh but I'm running Windows 2000 on this server, so how would I
invoke the project build?

Thanks in advance for any help.
