Automatically importing a directory of .jar files.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hey.
I want to make it easy for my projects to be downloaded and built without any
major CLASSPATH hacks. I am putting all my .jar files into PROJECT/lib but I am
hving to manually add EACH .jar into the "classpath" attribute on the javac
task.
It would make sense to just do a
<import-classpath dir="../lib"/>
And then run javac like:
<javac classpath="${CLASSPATH}
The ImportClasspath taskdef would read all .jar files form the given directory
and add them to the classpath.
Doesn't this seem more "clean" than manually adding each classpath entry? Has
anyone attempted a Taskdef like this?
Kevin

This should do it (possible since Ant 1.2):
<javac ...>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="PROJECT/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>

Sounds like you want
<javac ...>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>

Here's how you can make your life easier. At the top of your build.xml
(outside any targets), specify this:
<patternset id="patternset-lib">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
<include name="**/*.zip"/>
</patternset>
Then, inside <javac>, use this:
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
<patternset refid="patternset-lib"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
With, of course, the lib.dir property set to your lib directory.

I usually do this:
<javac srcdir="${src.main}"
destdir="${build.classes}"
debug="off"
deprecation="off"
optimize="on"
includes="**/*.java" >
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}" />
<fileset dir="lib/">
<include name="**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
</javac>
