I'm brand new to using Ant, so I apologize if this question is misguided. I've checked the FAQ, and I don't see any mention of it.

I have a directory called "lib" within my project directory, in which I place all .zip and .jar files upon which my source files depend. When I add a new .jar file to the lib directory, I don't want to have to explicitly change the build.xml file to reflect this. However, the documentation for Ant does not indicate that either the path attributes of <classpath> elements or the location attributes of <pathelement> elements can accept patterns like "*.jar" or "**/*.jar" and translate them into colon- or semicolon-delimited paths.

Is there another way to do this, other than manually editing the build.xml file every time I add a new JAR file to the lib directory?

If not, I'm willing to check out the source code and see if I can make the change myself and submit it.
