There is no such restriction AFAIK. Point Ant with -lib to a
directory and it will use the directory itself as a starting point for
a package hierarchy plus all jars contained inside the directory.
In Launcher:
if (element.isDirectory()) {
// add any jars in the directory
URL[] dirURLs = Locator.getLocationURLs(element);
for (int j = 0; j < dirURLs.length; ++j) {
libPathURLs.add(dirURLs[j]);
}
}
libPathURLs.add(element.toURL());
the loop adds the jars and after that the directory itself is added.
