Yatin,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

What did you try? Can you show the Ant task you called? And when you say it doesn't work, what happened - error message, etc?

How are you letting the build know where to find the jar containing the IBM tasks? There are two approaches that will work:
1) Add the jar to your ant classpath.
2) Add the classpath in your taskdef statement.

Can you show the line of code or classpath that does this?

Yatin,
Progress. Now Ant is finding the task and having problems with an environmental setting. Can you post the Ant snippet where you call the start server task?

I think you would be better off writing a Jython script and calling it from Ant to get that information.

What error are you getting when posting code? If it is about < not being allowed, you need to convert them into &lt; symbols.
