Making listener visible to Ant

Hello everyone.
I've created my own listener CustomXmlLogger that is a child of XmlLogger
and packed it in VCS.jar. I don't want to copy it to ANT_HOME/lib so I tried
to include a reference to the archive in my Ant call.
But I've got a problem. When I launch a build Ant indicates on LinkageError:

"C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin\java.exe" -classpath
 c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0\lib\ant-launcher.jar;VCS.jar
-DXmlLogger.file=build_tes
t_log.xml -DXmlLogger.level=WARN -Dant.home=c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0
org.apache.t
ools.ant.launch.Launcher -listener
com.kvazarmicro.umc.vcs.utils.CustomXmlLogger

Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Class com.kvazarmicro.umc.vcs.utils.CustomXmlLogger could not be loaded
because
of an invalid dependency.

When I added ant.jar the error was different:
D:\home\UMC\.garbage>"C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin\java.exe"
-classpath

c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0\lib\ant-launcher.jar;c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0\lib\ant.jar;VCS.jar
-DXmlLogger.file=build_test_log.xml -DXmlLogger.level=WARN -Dant.home=
c:\bin\apache-ant-1.7.0 org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -listener
com.kvazarmicro.umc.vcs.utils.CustomXmlLogger
Buildfile: build.xml

test:
   [delete] Deleting directory D:\home\UMC\.garbage\build
    [mkdir] Created dir: D:\home\UMC\.garbage\build
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to D:\home\UMC\.garbage\build

BUILD FAILED
D:\home\UMC\.garbage\build.xml:14: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\jre"

My JAVA_HOME is set to "C:\Program files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08" and Ant finds
compiler perfectly if I don't use my listener.

So I have a question: how can I use a custom listener not copying it in
ANT_HOME/lib?

Source of the listener:
import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildEvent;
import org.apache.tools.ant.Project;
import org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger;

public class CustomXmlLogger extends XmlLogger {
	@Override
	public void buildStarted(BuildEvent event) {
		super.buildStarted(event);
		String levelStr = System.getProperty("XmlLogger.level");
		if (levelStr != null) {
			int level;
			if (levelStr.equalsIgnoreCase("ERR")) {
				level = Project.MSG_ERR;
			} else if (levelStr.equalsIgnoreCase("WARN")) {
				level = Project.MSG_WARN;
			} else if (levelStr.equalsIgnoreCase("INFO")) {
				level = Project.MSG_INFO;
			} else if (levelStr.equalsIgnoreCase("VERBOSE")) {
				level = Project.MSG_VERBOSE;
			} else {
				level = Project.MSG_DEBUG;
			}
			setMessageOutputLevel(level);
		}
	}
}

Thanks, Stefan.

-lib option works like a charm.

This is because your class references classes from ant.jar that will
not be on the system classloader when you start ant via

while your class is on the system classloader.

Alternatives to ANT_HOME/lib are $HOME/.ant/lib and the -lib command
line argument.

I don't see any other option ATM.
