Julien,

you need to place the jar into %ANT_HOME%\lib

 Subject: Ant beginner needs help
 
 
 Hello,
 Ant is relatively new to me and I am simply trying to build a 
 Taglib subset
 (dbtags) using Ant and the build.xml provided with the 
 source code.  In
 order to do that I open a DOS window, I changedir to the 
 dbtags directory
 where build.xml is located and I run ant typing ant.  I 
 ALWAYS get the
 following error:
 ***
 a jar file containing the jdbc2_0-stdext classes is required  
 to compile the
 dbtags taglib. please define the property jdbc2_0-stdext.jar in your
 build.properties file and ensure that the file exists.
 ***
 In fact I do have this jdbc2_0-stdext.jar mentioned but I 
 don't know where
 to put it!!  I tried the lib/ext directory of the JVM, I 
 tried the dbtags
 directory where the build.xml is located but nothing works.
 
 Can anyone help please?
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Julien.

This message comes from the taglib's build file, not directly from
Ant.  Ant doesn't need the file, but you need it to compile the
taglib (as well as to use it, I guess).

It doesn't matter, where you put it.  What you need to do is to edit
the file build.properties that should be somewhere around your build
file (I have no experience with the taglib you are talking about,
sorry) and within this file change the value of the property 
jdbc2_0-stdext.jar to point to it.
