Hello Ralf. Yes, of course, I could be done with ANT (unpack zip tp some folder, include temporary directory to the classpath and finally purge it). But I agree with Simon and Carlos - it will be much more convenient to let compiler make all this stuff.
Also I'm wondering if it's really necessary to unpack FAR archives to temporary folder before including it to the classpath? I'm sure there are libraries allowed to access ZIP content like a usual directories.
