    Hi,
        
    i got a requirement to build my Web Object application using "Ant Builder" and i am using Ant of 1.6.2 version.

    While building WOApplication,Iam getting the following error.

    Could not create task or type of type: woapplication.
    Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

    This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
    solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
    install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
     - You have misspelt 'woapplication'.
       Fix: check your spelling.
     - The task needs an external JAR file to execute
         and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
       Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
       Fix: declare the task.
     - The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
         implementing the functionality were not found at the time you
         yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
       Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the
         task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
         If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed
         libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
         download a pre-built release version from apache.org
     - The build file was written for a later version of Ant
       Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
     - The task is not an Ant core or optional task
         and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
     - You are attempting to use a task defined using
        <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not
       defined it at the point of use

    Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
    in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
    classpath

    Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the
    Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,

    May i know the exact reason for this.
                                                                                                    with regards,
                                                                                                    Ramy.
