Understood, but I want to create a department-wide ant distribution that is augmented with common extension libraries. None of the options you list make this particularly clean and easy to manage.
You could use Ant to set it up. ;-) In other words, after people install Ant, they run 'ant -f setup.xml' where the default target in that build file downloads your extension libraries from some known place and puts them into ${user.home}/.ant/lib.

Does anyone else get an icky feeling when copying extension libraries into the lib directory? Isn't that why the java runtime added the ext directory?
Ant 1.6 or higher hunts for its jars on three places: ${ant.home}/lib, ${user.home}/.ant/lib and the directory specified by -lib option of ant laumching script. So from Ant 1.6 I do copy no jars in ${ant.home}/lib; instead I place them in ${user.home}/.ant/lib. This ease me when I change ant/jdk version I work with.
