I am trying to establish connection to Oracle Database using ant scripts. All the connection parameters I am reading from my db.properties. But the password is encrypted. Is there ant task to decrypt the password without writing any java class.

I don't think so. Why don't you write your own properties file with the settings copied from your db.properties and change the password to plane text? Otherwise it would be good to know which algorithm is used to encrypt the password.

See Custom property handling with ant for encrypting/decrypting passwords in Ant. However, it works with Java classes.
In any case, you will need an external tool to encrypt/decrypt your password. You can use something different than Java classes. If you want to do so, you can use the Ant exec task to run an external tool for encrypting/decrypting (e.g., a .bat file, an .exe file etc.):
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html
But be aware that the communication between Ant and the external tool will not be safe.
