Setting classpath when executing jar file

[chuanjiang lo <lo...@gmail.com>]

It seems like i'm not getting the classpath setting correctly hence there is
an error in executing my jar file..
    <!-- setting a reference -->
    <path id="libraries">
        <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
            <include name="*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
    </path>

...
...

  <target name="run" depends="set-props">
    <java fork="true" jar="${dist.dir}/${jar.name}"
classpathref="libraries">
        <arg value="${action}"/>
    </java>
  </target>

When trying to execute the jar file, the classes in other jars is not found.
How to correctly set the classpathref?

Appreciate any help.

The problem is in fact that <java jar=""> always ignores any classpath
specified, because SUN's java does when using the -jar command line
switch. See the JDK Tools documentation (or my answer to the 'unusual'
post of the 4th of July...)

Use <java classname=""> to be able to specify a classpath. --DD
