Re: Ant and eclipse project's classpath variable

[Martin Gainty]

Yes I would agree that having an IDE is *probably* a good first step especially for those just starting out..but once the build file is exported I find incorporating multiple Builds, multiple jars, multiple deployments, with different jdbc connectors I would prefer to execute at command line as I have more control Regards, Martin - ********************************************************************* This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.  If you have received this email message in error, please notify the sender immediately by telephone or email and destroy the original message without making a copy.  Thank you.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Thiago Souza To: Ant Users List Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 5:20 PM Subject: Re: Ant and eclipse project's classpath variable Hi,        Actually there's a target that copies these jars to a lib dir prior to building. Of course the real build target does not depends on this preparation. It must be ran, inside eclipse, prior to building a release. Regards....

Most projects uses the eclipse "classpath container variable" (that feature that maintains the dependencies in a directory like entry). But then ant can't get these jars since only eclipse knows about them, making it difficult to automate builds. Does anyone knows a workaround for this?
