build.xml not working

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ant debug (or release) causes this error:
/home/user/android-sdks/tools/ant/pre_setup.xml:4: Your build.xml file is 
outdated. Delete it and regenerate it with 'android update project'

2. If recreate build.xml and try to re-integrate the macrodef and target tags 
into the new build.xml, the build breaks on the <setup /> tag:
BUILD FAILED
/home/user/workspace/android-custom-class-loading-sample-read-only/android-custo
m-class-loading-sample/build.xml:146: Missing attribute projectTypeOut

3. I hope this is an easy fix for someone who knows more about ant and android 
than I presently do.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- it should have built cleanly

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

- Android 2.1 SDK under Mint 12

Please provide any additional information below.

I got same problem.

Windows7/64
SDK16 & ADT16

Fix build.xml followings

    <!-- Required pre-setup import -->

    <import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/pre_setup.xml" />

     to

    <import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/build.xml" />

Then execute

>ant debug
Buildfile: ... \build.xml

BUILD FAILED
... \build.xml:168: Missing attribute projectTypeOut

The build errors are attributed to Ant script changes in recent SDK Tools 
revisions.  Looking into it...

Modified build to be compatible with SDK Tools rev 16.

build.xml still shows validation errors in eclipse for Android 2.2 
(Gingerbread). The help and -compile targets are flagged as "undefined". 

I'm not at all adept at diagnosing/fixing ant problems. Mainly use maven these 
days.

For SDK Tools rev 19 (maybe previous versions IDK) the following error shows:
BUILD FAILED
/home/user/workspace/android-custom-class-loading-sample/build.xml:161: The 
following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/user/workspace/android-custom-class-loading-sample/android-custom-class-lo
ading-sample/build.xml:127: Reference jar.libs.ref not found.

The workaround is to change build.xml:117 from <path refid="jar.libs.ref" /> to 
<path refid="project.libraries.jars" />

Hope this helps!

(Attached modified version of build.xml for rev 19)
