Could you post the content of the manifest file and your directory structure?
I suppose that the paths are not correct … Jan Von: Dennis Putnam [mailto:d...@bellsouth.net] Gesendet: Montag, 25.

Is there perhaps a better forum I should be using at this point? I did make one discovery. It appears that although the application works in Eclipse when I try to export it to a runnable jar using the Eclipse wizard, the resulting jar fails as well. It seems to me that the problem is not ant specific but something in the app build per se.

While I'm getting a successful build but the same exception when I run the jar, I hope this is getting me closer. At least the pom.xml is in the build. I am wondering if the added fileset is right and working.

Starting the JAR could be done in several ways. Common is that you have to have all external classes on the runtime classpath: 1. Hard coded start script. Write a bash/bat-Script with the java command with all cp settings, e.g. (bat) @echo off java -cp /build/myjar.jar;lib/one.jar;lib/two.jar;lib/three.jar org.acme.Main %* 2. Wrapper script which collects all JARs in a dynamic way (see ant.bat|ant.sh) 3. Use Ant + <java><classpath> for starting 4. Create a runnable JAR which references the external JARs (manifest: main-class + classpath) 5. Create a shaded jar (uber jar, fat jar): include all classes from external jars into your jar 6. Use a launcher which uses a dependency manager for getting the classpath You don't have to replicate path definitions in your buildfile, you could (and should) use references: <javac><classpath id="runtime.cp"><fileset dir="lib" includes="**/*.jar"/>… <java><classpath refid="runtime.cp"/> You mave have a look at http://ant.apache.org/manual/tutorial-HelloWorldWithAnt.html Jan
