If the project you checkout includes its own Ant extensions, and you want to use a stock Ant release, you still have the option of using the -lib command line switch to tell the Ant launcher to use your custom libs. Using -lib is just as effective as putting the jars in $ANT_HOME/lib I believe. Then you only need a little wrapper build.bat/.sh script (checked in) to launch Ant properly configured for the projects. Sure, auto-download of dependencies would be nice, and with Ivy part of the Ant family, it may come sooner rather than later, but in the mean time, -lib is a very effective and easy way to work around your issue it sounds like. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
