throwing all jars into %ANT_HOME%/lib is the easiest way, but i prefer
to keep ant installation clean, which is also better for reasons of
maintenance.
also i don't want to use =
<taskdef ...>
<classpath>
...
</classpath>
</taskdef>
in every ant script.
using scripts to start my ant files, f.e. =
windows
set JAVA_HOME=C:\java\jdk\1.6.0_15
set ANT_HOME=C:\ant
set ANT_ARGS=-lib C:\ant_xtralibs;C:\ant_testlibs
set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\cvsnt
:: default
call ant -f %1
:: debug
::call ant -debug -f %1
...
unix - don't forget the quotationmarks on the ANT_ARGS line !
...
ANT_ARGS="-lib /usr/local/ant_xtralibs:/usr/local/ant_testlibs"
export ANT_ARGS
...
so i don't need to use ant -lib everytime
i think you get the idea.
-- other possibilities --
1.put those 'set ANT_ARGS ...'stuff into =
unix
$ANT_HOME/bin/ant
windows
%ANT_HOME%/bin/ant.bat
disadvantage = changes the ant core installation, remember
your changes before you copy your ant installation to
another machine and strange things happen !
2.put your extralibs in ${user.home}/.ant/lib
advantage = every user may use his own set of libraries
