I tried something else,
based on something written by Adam some time ago, inspired me to try
simply this:
ant.getClass().getClassLoader().addURL(new
File("D:\\dev\\apps\\gradle-0.9\\lib\\activation.jar").toURL())
ant.getClass().getClassLoader().addURL(new
File("D:\\dev\\apps\\gradle-0.9\\lib\\mail.jar").toURL())
Unfortunately, it still didn't work .... same old classNotFoundException.
Why would something like this not work?
