correct code in build.xml:

&lt;path id="xx.classpath"&gt;
   &lt;fileset dir="lib"&gt;
      &lt;include name="${basedir}/lib/a.jar" /&gt;
      &lt;include name="${basedir}/lib/b.jar" /&gt;
   &lt;/fileset&gt;
&lt;/path&gt;
&lt;taskdef classpathref="xx.classpath" resource="tasks.properties" /&gt;
