You'll need the <taskdef...> that refers to a .jar file only when you
call the xjc provided with one of the standalone JAXB releases, as
might be required when you can't make do with the JAXB that comes
with your Java distriibution. Otherwise, just call the xjc you have there
in /usr/bin/xjc, using ant's way of calling any executable (<exec>, isn't it?).
