Thanks for the prompt response. Maybe I didn't make this clear, its not ivy:retrieve that I'm stuck with; I've managed to download all the required jar files into the ivy cache specified by the patterns; I just don't know how to add the downloaded jar files to the classpath in the ant build.xml. For example, the jars retrieved have the following paths:
C:/ivycache/apache/log4j/1.2.15/log4j.jar C:/ivycache/apache/xerces/3.10/xerces-api.jar ...... I'm sure there must be some clever way to include all these jars in the classpath at once instead of mannually specifying each indivual path right?
