Greetings. Thank you for the answer. I found this section that explains what you are stating: http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#delegating-classloader-1.6
Now the question is: how can I access the instance of AntClassLoader being used by ant and which contains all the -lib entries? I searched the web but could not find any recipe. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your quick and insightful response.
