You need to tell <taskdef> where to find the newly compiled class
<target name="prepareTransform">
<!-- Make sure the XSLTransformTask is available -->
<mkdir dir="${build}" />
<javac srcdir="${src}/com/madsie/util/xsl/XSLTransformTask.java"
destdir="${build}" />
<taskdef name="transform"
classname="com.madsie.util.xsl.XSLTransformTask" >
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${build}" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
</target>
