Matt is correct: you are mixing Eclipse and Ant definitions.
So here some points by me:
* There is no default behaviour of <javac>. You have to specify the paths the
compiler should use by yourself.
* <javac ... classpath=".classpath"/> means, that the file or directory
".classpath" should be used for classpath. But the .classpath-file is not a jar
file, it is a xml file.
* I try to "translate" the .classpath:
Eclipse: <classpathentry including="**/*.java" kind="src"
output="target/classes" path="src">
Ant: <javac src="src" dest="target/classes" includes=**/*.java"/>
Eclipse: <classpathentry kind="con"
path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.7">
Ant: not used (include current Java runtime)
Eclipse: <classpathentry kind="lib"
path="/lib/java-ext/json-simple-1.1.1/json-simple-1.1.1.jar"/>
Ant: <javac><classpath><path
entry="/lib/java-ext/json-simple-1.1.1/json-simple-1.1.1.jar"/></classpath></javac>
ore more generic
<javac><classpath><fileset dir="lib"
includes="**.*.jar"/></classpath></javac>
Eclipse: <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
Ant: not used (I think this controlls the "export behaviour" for
inter-project dependencies)
So combined (and tuned):
<property name="build.classes" value="target/classes"/>
<mkdir dir="${build.classes}"/>
<javac src="src" dest="${build.classes}"> <!-- includes not required -->
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib" includes="**.*.jar"/>
</classpath>
</javac>
