Typically three ways: 1) You can put the third-party jars into a location automatically scanned by Ant using the methods described in the Ant manual online: http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#libs
2) Or you can explicitly load things using a class path like the sample did. Also see Ant manual online: http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path 3) Or you can use the special "antlib:" namespace.

Thanks much. Exactly what I was looking for. Is this generally how you utilize a jar in ant buildfiles? Thanks again!!!

I'm building a build system that is being deployed to some developers. And I want to include some of the tasks in this library. But am not completely sure how to do it without modifying any ant config / libraries. I'm trying to do in thebuild file with taskdef. Heres my example: <project name="test" default="task1" basedir="../"> <taskdef resource="com/idaremedia/antx/install/antlib.xml" classpath="${basedir}/build/jar/AntX_tasks.jar" /> <!-- Load the properties file --> <property file="./build/build.properties" /> <target name="task1"> <do if="props.myprop"> <!-- something --> </do> </target> </project> I've tried a number of different ways with the taskdef tag.. no luck, dah! any help would be appreciated. -Aaron--------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
