Hi,
I'm trying to build an Ant project that uses some Apple Cocoa classes.
These are stored as .class files and not as jars. They reside in a
completely different folder to my project. I can compile and run my
program by referencing these from the command line as follows:
javac -classpath /System/Library/Java:. MyProgram.java
java -classpath /System/Library/Java:. MyProgram
Is there a way I can replicate this functionality using Ant and add
the
directory (System/Library/Java) to the classpath?
I've tried solutions from the Ant documentation and the archives of
this list but haven't been able to get anything to work yet.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
You can always use the <compilerarg> task to pass arguments to the
compiler,
but rather why don't you try
<path id="compile.cp">
<fileset dir="YOUR DIR">
<include name=""/>
</fileset>
</path>
and later on call the classpath using <javac srcdir="" destdir=""
classpathref="compile.cp"/>
Or just use <classpath>

Regards, Petar!
I tried the compilerarg task but got the error "Could not create the
task or type of task: conpilerarg". I declared this as <compilerarg
line="-classpath /System/Library/Java/"/>.
I also tried the other methods you listed but I still got the class not
found error. My build.xml file was generated for my by my IDE Xcode
and currently looks like this. Sorry if I am missing something obvious
but I am totally new to Ant.
