Does anyone know the reason why the launcher
code in ant 1.6 gets the jars in a directory specified in
the CLASSPATH and adds them to ant's classpath ?
It does seem to be a strange thing to do.
Lancher.java: line 128
if (element.isDirectory()) {
// add any jars in the directory
URL[] dirURLs = Locator.getLocationURLs(element);
for (int j = 0; j < dirURLs.length; ++j) {
libPathURLs.add(dirURLs[j]);
}
}
It may be an oversight - -lib <path> is used to pass the CLASSPATH
to ant in the ant script.
So the code that parses this lib <path> is the same code that parses the
normal -lib option to ant.
Perhaps we need to be the CLASSPATH in a different manner in Launcher,java ?
either explicitly or implicitly ?

Ant includes JARs in working directory

I agree with the original poster. I hit this behavior today as well and it
broke our build system.
We have targets to build JARs from a compiled source tree - the JAR output is
placed in the same directory as our build file. We also have targets to run an
app (for developers) from the compiled source tree.
After upgrading to ant 1.6, this system breaks -- the run target now pulls
classes from the JAR files, much to the confusion of many. I finally found the
new, one-line description in the manual stating that 'all elements of env. var.
CLASSPATH are passed as -lib arguments to ant' -- thus they are scanned for JAR
files.
This is very inconsistent with Java's standard behavior regarding CLASSPATH...
