[Ant] Trying to override old definition of task $taskname I've seen the following message printed out as part of our build process for quite a few months now - and decided to try and fix it today.

compile-common:
Trying to override old definition of task runservertests
Trying to override old definition of task canoo
Trying to override old definition of task dbunit

I found that moving my <taskdef>'s from the root level (right under <project>) to inside my "init" target fixed the problem. Easy fix, no more messages. Posted in Java at Jun 06 2003, 08:32:29 AM MDT 2 Comments

Helpful detail. Worked for me too. Thanks!

I had a similar problem: I got repeated "Trying to override old definition of task for" warnings. In my case, I eventually tracked it down to the fact that I had ant-contrib in my classpath in two separate locations. In this situation, Ant will load both versions and correctly warn that there's a problem.
