Can someone please clarify the optional jar requirement for ant >= 1.6? The
manual says in one place that you must build ant with the library
dependencies present, and in another place (Installing ant-Optional Tasks) it
states that you can simply drop the dependency jar into ant's lib directory
(making no mention of building). I know building was required pre 1.6 but
I'm not sure what the status is post 1.6. There's a guy asking this question
now on the user's list in regard to the FTP task and I don't want to steer
him wrong.
If you are building from CVS or source you need to have the dependencies there to cause Ant to build the corresponding optional jar.
If you have installed a standard Ant build, you just need to drop the jars into the lib dir. The corresponding optional jar file will have been built by the release manager when the release was put together.
So, the answer will depend on which scenario applies (i.e. build or run). For most users, the second answer will apply.
