Hi Dennis,
I think you might be mixing up Eclipse concepts and Ant concepts and that
might be causing some extra confusion. Based on your original email, the
compiler is having issues finding your third-party dependencies. I believe
Jaikiran is correct in saying that the <javac> task needs to be given some
sort of classpath. The .classpath file is an Eclipse concept and unless
there is some sort of Eclipse/Ant plugin I am not aware of, the .classpath
file will have no effect on Ant’s, <javac> task. Also, I don’t believe the
<javac> task has a default value for the classpath attribute. If no
classpath or classpathref is specified then the compiler is not passed any
classpath information.
I would start by locating the folder where your third-party dependencies
are and create a <path> element containing them like this:
<path id="compile-classpath">
<fileset dir="/the/path/to/your/third/party/jars"/>
</path>
Once you have a path defined you can pass the classpath to the <javac> task
using a refid like this:
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="bin" includeantruntime="false"
classpathref="compile-classpath"/>
Try that and see how it goes.
