I'm trying to run hibernate tools in an ant build to generate ddl from my JPA annotations. Ant dies on the taskdef tag. I've tried with ant 1.7, 1.6.5, and 1.6 to no avail. I've tried both in eclipse and outside. I've tried including all the hbn jars in the hibernate-tools path and not. Note that I based my build file on this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/281890/hibernate-jpa-to-ddl-command-line-tools

I'm running eclipse 3.4 with WTP 3.0.1 and MyEclipse 7.1 on Ubuntu 8.

Build.xml:

<project name="generateddl" default="generate-ddl">

<path id="hibernate-tools">
	<pathelement location="../libraries/hibernate-tools/hibernate-tools.jar" />
	<pathelement location="../libraries/hibernate-tools/bsh-2.0b1.jar" />
	<pathelement location="../libraries/hibernate-tools/freemarker.jar" />
	<pathelement location="../libraries/jtds/jtds-1.2.2.jar" />
	<pathelement location="../libraries/hibernate-tools/jtidy-r8-20060801.jar" />

</path>

<taskdef classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask" classpathref="hibernate-tools"/>

<target name="generate-ddl" description="Export schema to DDL file"> 
<!-- compile model classes before running hibernatetool -->

	<!-- task definition; project.class.path contains all necessary libs 
	<taskdef name="hibernatetool" classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask" classpathref="project.class.path" />
	-->

	<hibernatetool destdir="sql"> 

		<!-- check that directory exists -->
		<jpaconfiguration persistenceunit="default" />

		<classpath>

			<dirset dir="WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes">
				<include name="**/*"/>
			</dirset>
		</classpath>

		<hbm2ddl outputfilename="schemaexport.sql" format="true" export="false" drop="true" />
	</hibernatetool>
</target>
