WLST Ant Task Definiton does not exist for 8.1 ?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to use Maven's ant plugin to run some WLST script to create some artifcats on my server. We are using platform 8.1 and so i downloaded the WLST 6.4 zip file from dev2dev and it contains wlst.jar and jython.jar but I cant find the following (which comes as std with 9.0):-
weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLSTTask
Its not with the WLST distribution so how can I use it with my 8.1 infra (I am using the maven ant:ant plug in here) so have added the taskdef to my build.xml but I cant find it in any of the weblogic or wlst jar files....or the 8.1 wls ant distribution. Am I missing something ? Or I am forced to use this in my build file:-
<property name="propertiesFile" location="c:/eworld"/>
<target name="createServers">
<java classname="weblogic.WLST" fork="yes">
<arg line="-loadProperties ${propertiesFile}/connect.properties antExample.py" />
</java>
</target>
I wanted to (as in the 9.0 docs) use:-
<taskdef name="wlst" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLSTTask" />
<target name="runwlst">
<wlst fileName="./myscript.py" executeScriptBeforeFile="true"
debug="false" failOnError="false" />
</target>
Your help much appreciated !.
TIA
Martin

I have found out that the WSLTTask does not exist for 8.1 and only for 9.X.
