Apache Ant - Intellij Idea Community don't recognize for loop command

I want to create a for loop to iterate over lines of a file. I did:

<loadfile property="download.file" srcfile="download_list.txt"/>

<target name="criarArvore">
    <mkdir dir="${download.dir}"/>
    <mkdir dir="${domain.dir}"/>
</target>

<target name="download" depends="criarArvore">
    <for param="line" list="${download.file}" delimiter="${line.separator}">
        <sequential>
            <echo>@{line}</echo>
        </sequential>
    </for>
</target>

But at <for> intellij warns me: 'cannot resolve symbol "for"'. When I run the script I receive:

c:\xxx\build.xml:22: Problem: failed to create task or type for
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.
Solution

  • The <for> task is from the third-party Ant-Contrib library.

    To use Ant-Contrib, download ant-contrib-1.0b3-bin.zip, extract ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar from it, and follow the instructions on how to install Ant-Contrib.
