IBM Worklight 6.1 - Ant build failed: Could not load definitions

I've upgraded my worklight server from v6.0 to v6.1. The target environment is Liberty and Oracle database. I've build a war for v6.1 and try to deploy it. it fails with following error message:

[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource com/worklight/ant/defaults.properties. It could not be found.
Solution

  • The name of ANT jars have changed. So i had to take the new want named "worklight-ant-deployer.jar" instead of "worklight-ant.jar" in my xml config file.

    <taskdef resource="com/worklight/ant/defaults.properties">
  <classpath>
    <fileset dir="${worklight.server.install.dir}/WorklightServer">
      <include name="worklight-ant-deployer.jar"/>
    </fileset>
 </classpath>
</taskdef>
