I'm fairly new to Ant as well, so take this as the hack that it is.
I had the same problem recently on a project I was working on. My compile
was also fine from the shell.
I tried a bunch of different things, but could never get it to work with a
JAR file. (In my case I needed the j2ee.jar file.)
I may be missing an easier way to deal with this, but I had to unjar the
files for the compile to work within Ant. I'm building to a JAR, so it
wasn't that terrible since I was going to re-jar everything to deploy it
anyway, but it is certainly not an ideal approach.
I hope someone can respond with the "correct" solution.

Subject: javac cannot find package even though it is present in the
classpath
Hi,
I started working on ant about a week back. I use
ant on Win NT. I am facing a fairly strange problem. I
use javac to compile few jav files, out of which a
file imports the package 'oracle.jdbc.*'. This package
is contained in the file classes12_01.jar. Even though
classes12_01.jar is in the system Classpath it can't
seem to find it, and gives the following error -
.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 7 seconds
The classpath displayed here shows that
classes12_01.jar is present in the classpath. When I
compile the same file at the command prompt using the
same iPlanet javac, it compiles fine.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I may overlooking
here.
Thanks,
Dominic
