Yes, simply add
<classpath>
<fileset dir="myLibDir">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
to your javac-task. You will get something like this:
<javac srcdir="src"
destdir="classes"
debug="off" optimize="on">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${build.lib}">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>
As an alternative you can define the classpath as path on the project level,
add an 'id="myClasspath"' to the path and use it as "<classpath
refid="myClasspath"/> in every javac-task.
