http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37223 Summary: dynamically extend ant's classpath, i.e. from inside of a running ant Product: Ant Version: 1.6.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: Core AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be of great help if ant's run classpath could be extended dynamically while it is already running in order to automatically add lacking libs whose location is (solely) given in the context of a given project. E.g. the jar cotaining a specific JDBC driver. At least the addition of a classpath parameter (as for taskdef) to the antcall task would be very usefull. At the moment it is only possible to extend the classpath (more or less) statically on the command line by means of the "-lib" option or by injecting the required libs into the lib directory located under ant's home dir. The latter approach would (usually) result in a modified default installation which may cause troubles or at least establishes customized ant installations. I tried to solve the problem with ant's existing means which results in a somehow cumbersome script that isn't completely generic since it cotains an os dependency. The sniffet from my trial looks as follows: <target name="needsdriverlib"> <sql driver="${driver}" url="${url}" userid="${userid}" password="${password}" > select * from cat </sql> </target> <target name="ensuresdriverlib"> <!-- extension .bat depends on os windows --> <exec executable="ant.bat" spawn="false"> <arg value="-lib"/> <arg value="${lib.dir}/jdbc/jars"/> <arg value="needsdriverlib"/> </exec> </target> Hopefully you found this request worth to be considered in a future version.
