Hibernate 4.0 hibernatetool taskdef error

Question

I'm using hibernate 4.0.0.CR4 and was trying the "Message" example from Java Persistence with Hibernate. I was able to compile and run the applicaiton using the ant build, but when i try exporting schema using hibernatetool i'm getting an error

build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<project name="HelloWorld" default="compile"  basedir=".">

        </javac>
    </target>

    <!-- Copy metadata to build classpath -->
    <target name="copymetafiles">

                format="true"/>
        </hibernatetool>
    </target>
</project>

error:

/home/student/workspace/HelloWorld/build.xml:61: taskdef A class needed by class org.hibernate.tool.ant.EnversHibernateToolTask cannot be found: org/hibernate/tool/ant/HibernateToolTask

following are the jars on my class path: antlr-2.7.7.jar classmate-0.5.4.jar commons-collections-3.2.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.1.jar dom4j-1.6.1.jar hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.0.CR2.jar hibernate-core-4.0.0.CR4.jar hibernate-envers-4.0.0.CR4.jar hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar hsqldb.jar jandex-1.0.3.Final.jar javassist-3.12.1.GA.jar jboss-logging-3.0.0.GA.jar jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec-1.0.0.Final.jar

On few forums I found that the missing class is part of hibernate-tools.jar but I couldn't find this jar in the version of hibernate (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hibernate/files/hibernate4/4.0.0.CR4/)

You should set the node inside of

<target name="schemaexport" depends="compile, copymetafiles"
    description="Exports a generated schema to DB and files">
    <taskdef name="hibernatetool" classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask"
        classpathref="project.classpath"/>

    <hibernatetool destdir="${basedir}">
        <classpath path="${build.dir}"/>
        <configuration configurationfile="${build.dir}/hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
        <hbm2ddl
            drop="true"
            create="true"
            export="true"
            outputfilename="helloworld-ddl.sql"
            delimiter=";"
            format="true"/>
    </hibernatetool>
</target>
