http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21072 Allow User-Specified Ant Library Access In Scripts Summary: Allow User-Specified Ant Library Access In Scripts Product: Ant Version: 1.5.3 Platform: All OS/Version: MacOS X Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Wrapper scripts AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the file 'ant' in the bin directory, the following line exists: > ANT_LIB="${ANT_HOME}/lib" Essentially, what I would request is that another variable (USER_ANT_LIB?) be made available as a top-level environment variable like ANT_HOME and that the line be changed to be: > ANT_LIB=${USER_ANT_LIB:-${ANT_HOME}/lib} This provides the same default value as before unless the new environment variable is set. If set, the specified user directory would take the place of the standard one. Benefits to user: Not everyone has root access. So making a change to the standard install on a system may not be possible for just anyone. And anyone having done much XML coding will agree, sometimes putting the jar in $ANT_HOME/lib is the only way to fix classpath loading errors. Having to share a single directory can have its downsides. This would allow creation of library director(y|ies) that can be maintained independent of the version of Ant installed on the system. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
