Here's how you can make your life easier. At the top of your build.xml
(outside any targets), specify this:
<patternset id="patternset-lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
<include name="**/*.zip"/>
</patternset>
Then, inside <javac>, use this:
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<patternset refid="patternset-lib"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
With, of course, the lib.dir property set to your lib directory.
