I have 2 files called test.xml and build.xml.
build.xml is present in D:/Location/build.

I am running build.xml from test.xml as below
<target name="call build.xml" >
<ant dir="D:/Location/build" antfile="build.xml"/>
</target>

build.xml has taskdef as given below
<taskdef name="writeManifest" classname="com.mycompany.ant.Test"/>

When I run the build.xml file is runs fine without any error.
However if I run test.xml(which inturn invokes build.xml) I am getting error that
taskdef class com.gft.ant.Test cannot be found.

What may be the problem?

Sounds like the classpath is different. Where is the classfile located, and what does the classpath entry look like? Perhaps it's a relative path?

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
