Hi Jaikiran, Thanks for the reply. Here is my command:
/bin/ant -v -Dmember.number=$number -Dmember.name=\"$name\" -f
makejar.xml
I assume it is using ant's java task based on the build file
(makejar.xml). I'm a bit confused. Doesn't all the necessary classpath
info come from the build xml? Since the Maven pom.xml is never
referenced anywhere in the build file and the Maven dependency causes
that exception, it seems to me that is where the problem lies. Doesn't
the pom.xml need to be referenced somewhere?
In any case, how do I set up a classpath for the ant command (-lib)
since I have multiple paths? Do I have to copy all my jars into a single
directory? Why is duplication of these paths even necessary? This seems
like it is getting far afield since I did not have to do all that before
I messed up the build file classpath.
