This is not a Java issue, this is a configuration issue. Follw https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.build.doc%2Ftopics%2Fr_ant-tasks.html and

"copy the various taskdef entries in the BuildToolkitTaskDefs.xml file to your project's Ant script. You can also use your Ant script to import the taskdef file."
Also see https://jazz.net/library/article/1286
