Bug#565403: ant-contrib: doc refers to missing file antlib.xml

[Ludovic Claude]

Hello Yann,

Try this, it should work.

  <taskdef resource="/net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
     <classpath>
       <pathelement location="/usr/share/java/ant-contrib.jar"/>
     </classpath>
   </taskdef>

The documentation needs to be corrected

The ant-contrib jar is not added automatically to the Ant lib as it puts
more classes in the classpath, so risks of name clashes and version
mismatch are increased.
