Cameron: If I understand correctly - what you need to do is to declare the xsd2jibx as a resource with its associated dependencies.
For example - in your index.xml (or wherever you have xsd2jibx declared) you could do something like: <resource> <info> <group>xsd2jibx</group> <name>xsd2jibx</name> </info> <dependencies> <include key="log4j"/> <include key="jibx-run"/> <include key="xpp3" /> <include key="commons-logging"/> <include key="jaxmejs"/> </dependencies> </resource> Then inside you build.xml you can reference the BUILD path using the following statement: <x:path key=" xsd2jibx" id="the-path"/> The 'the-path' can now referenced as a refid argument in any ant task. Fpr example: <taskdef name="xsd2jibx" classname="org.jibx.xsd2jibx.GeneratorAntTask"> <classpath> <path refid="the-path"/> </classpath> </taskdef> Does this solve the problem?
