Getting an error “Could not load definitions from resource net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties. It could not be found.”

Question

I am getting an error Could not load definitions from resource net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties. It could not be found. when I am trying to ant build on

Answer 1

One important thing missing from this StackOverflow page is that setting the correct ANT_HOME env var is absolutely vital and important, without this setting ant keeps telling the same error, regardless of where you copy the ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar on your file systems. This missing thing has costed me a few hours. =)

However I receive this error without eclipse, in the pure ant.
