If these tasks were really broken, believe me someone would have noticed, and 
my last project would have missed the deadline by a margin significantly 
larger that what actually happened. More to the point, ant.jar itself wouldnt 
exist.


Therefore the issue is really "something is wrong with my configuration which 
stops these tasks from working", which is not a critical issue for the rest of 
us. It is an installation/configuration issue on your part. 

Please consult the installation bit of the ant docs, where it says, and do 
what it tells you:

"When you need JDK functionality (such as for the javac task or the rmic 
task), then for JDK 1.1, the classes.zip file of the JDK must be added to the 
classpath; for JDK 1.2 or JDK 1.3, tools.jar must be added. The scripts 
supplied with Ant, in the bin directory, will add the required JDK classes 
automatically, if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set. "
