Mail task with mail.jar & activation.jar out of lib folder

[Patrick Martin]

Hello,

Is it possible to use the <mail> task without having activation.jar
and mail.jar in the ant lib folder?

I tried to redefine the mail task this way:

<taskdef name="mymail"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer">
        <classpath>
                <pathelement location="${ant.home}/lib/ant-javamail.jar" /> <!--
same with and without this line -->
                <pathelement location="a/mail.jar" />
                <pathelement location="a/activation.jar" />
        </classpath>
</taskdef>

But it did not work. I keep on getting the following error:

D:\tmp\build.xml:7: taskdef A class needed by class
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.MimeMailer cannot be found:
javax/mail/MessagingException

I am using ant 1.8.2.
