How to add jars to classpath?

[Pawel Stawicki <pa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I want to compile project which has some dependencies, but not
maven-like ones. I just have some jar files on my disc and I want to add
them to classpath. I tried something like

compile.with file(<jar_path>)

But it doesn't work. I get errors because of not satisfied dependencies.

How to do this?

Best regards
Pawel Stawicki

if the file does not exist at that path you may have to tell Buildr how to
build it. You may want to check this section of the doc:
http://incubator.apache.org/buildr/artifacts.html

Then I get error:
Don't know how to build task
'/home/amorfis/workspace/ncdc-libs/commons-lang/commons-lang-2.3.jar'

Besides, I don't think "example.com:beans:jar:1.0" is valid spec for all
my jars.

you just have to use the artifact#from method:

bean = artifact("example.com:beans:jar:1.0").from("/path/to/your/jar")

I found it out, it was mistake in my path. Sorry for the mess, now
everything works fine.

No, the file for sure exists. I added it to classpath, but I was
debugging buildr, and compile task invoked later was different task,
with empty classpath.

I am trying to migrate from our company's build system to buildr. We
have a lot of jars in our own repository and ant task, which can get
jars from repository based on eclipse classpath. So files and their
paths are not hardcoded, I get it in runtime in buildr, and this I
already did. What I can't do is to add them to classpath and compile
project.

compile.with <jar_path> will also work.  You can use either a filename or a
file task.

The only thing added to the classpath is that JAR, so maybe it's missing
some classes, or you need to add another dependency?
