Enhance error messages of taskdef to say what really is not found...

           Summary: Enhance error messages of taskdef to say what really is
                    not found...
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16970
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hauser@acm.org


if the class is found but some import not, mention this specifically!!
Since I have the target also print the directory path and then verify it 
manually, I cannot imaging that the classes proper are not found...

The current error message is not all to helpful ...    :(

Background:
===========
Somebody sent me two *.java files I can compile in my eclipse, but ant fails to
recognize them as tasks even though the provider says he has it running with the
same build.xml snippet:

<<It's not clear to me why your example isn't working, though, it seems
basically correct.
