           Summary: Make it easier to specify optional dependencies
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build Process
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: william.barker@wilshire.com


At the moment, it is extremely complex to include all of the optional 
dependancies that Ant may build on the CP before invoking 'build install'.  It 
would be very helpful if the Ant build.xml defined the ${${component}.jar} 
properties and added them to the classpath, so that I could just define in 
my .ant.properties something like:
  junit.jar=${download.home}/junit3.8.1/junit.jar

just place them in lib/optional before building ant, and the build will find
them by itself.
Many libraries can automatically be downloaded to that location using 
ant / build -file fetch.xml while in the "root" directory of the ant source
distribution.
