Summary: Tasks not properly defined for ant 1.7

Initial Comment:
There's some mystery here, but when I try to run ant-contrib tasks under ant 1.7.0, I get errors like "task not defined propertyregex" and so forth.

What's *really* weird is that this works fine if I invoke ant from Eclipse - perhaps Eclipse embeds a different version?

I tried both:
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
and also
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">

( it looks like the latter just includes the former).  Neither worked.  I should also note that the ant-contrib website is laid out very strangely with the "other tasks" section.

In any case, what I had to do to fix this is unpack the JAR and edit antlib.xml to include additional:

<taskdef
        name="propertyregex"
        classname="net.sf.antcontrib.property.RegexTask"
        onerror="ignore"/>

I would suggest that this file be updated to include all the taskdefs and stop including the properties file, which doesn't seem to work.
