[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.

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.

Hi, We have this information in 3 xml files, and i am facing the same issue that its repeating the messages. I dont have any init targets to move this piece of code. Can anyone show an example of the init and how are you calling this taskdef inside that.
