It's not your system classpath that maters, it's the classpath for the javac
ant task.
For instance I have a task:
<javac srcdir="${javasrc.home}" destdir="${object.home}" debug="yes" >
<classpath refid="compile.classpath.singletier"/>
</javac>
This uses another task (earlier in build.xml) to set the classpath:
<path id="compile.classpath.singletier">
<!-- The object files for this application -->
<pathelement location="${object.home}"/>
<!-- The lib files for this application -->
<fileset dir="${lib.home}/client">
<include name="*.jar"/>
<include name="*.zip"/>
</fileset>
</path>
So, read up on the javac ant task, specifically looking at the nested
classpath elements.
