<target name="expand.lib.jars">

<patternset>
<include name="**/*.class"/>
</patternset>

Seems simpler than this jars-within-jars hack to me.

I would like to move all the dependency files/jars to one subdir then call the programs using syntax: java -jar program1.jar -classpath subdir I'm not a java programer so I'm not sure - does your post mean that this will/may cause the program not to find the classes it needs, even if I use the -classpath option? Do you know any other resources that discuss this topic? Thanks Rick Hi Yaron,
I have various java programs that are invoked with command syntax like:
java -jar program1.jar

At the moment the dependency files are in the same directory as the programs. I would like to move all the dependency files/jars to one subdir then call the programs using syntax:
java -jar program1.jar -classpath subdir

I’m not a java programer so I’m not sure – does your post mean that this will/may cause the program not to find the classes it needs, even if I use the -classpath option?

Do you know any other resources that discuss this topic?

Thanks
Rick
